I used flat twin-lead TV line to a 70'random wire and with a ground to a groung rod. worked OK for a beginner and a beginner's radio. Prone to overload.

Hi Lisa, when I had a DX 160, I used a simple 75' wire. Even copper
speaker wire will work. As for the PL259, I'm not sure, but I think

Got my DX-160 today, just discovered it doesn't have the same antenna
hook-up's as the DX-394 & the DX-302 have; can anyone tell me what type of
antenna (preferably homemade) I should attach to it until I obtain another
outdoor antenna for it (or at the very least figure out a way to connect my
Eavesdropper with a feed line that has a PL259 connector)?
