Default Eton E1 XM + C.Crane Twin Coil Ferrite

I received the Eton E1 as a gift. After reviewing the pros/cons/quality
issues, I decided to keep it.

I saw the C.Crane Twin Coil reviewed as a great AM antenna for the E1 so
I bought it. Now I have to connect the antenna to the PAL connector of
the E1.

I contacted C.Crane and they told me I needed a PAL to RCA adapter.
These seem to be hard or impossible to fine online. Does anyone in this
group know of a source for them ??

If not, maybe someone here can tell me if this will work.
The C.Crane antenna uses a RCA jack to connect to the radio antenna
connector so... will the following work

(PAL to F adapter) + (F to RCA adapter). These I can find online.

For what it's worth, I know nothing about shortwave radio, The E1 is my
first shortwave radio and I am just beginning to learn about the hobby.

BTW, "PAL" is what they call that connector in North America. I think
they call it a Belling-Lee (or something like that) where they really
use it in the rest of the world.
