I'm getting a KA2100 . Has anyone installed an external SW antenna for it? I'm wondering how much signal it can take... and the impedance of the PAL connection (I have an F to PAL adapter, F connector coax and will get a balun if needed). There is a resistive matching network at the antenne input to give an impedance of between 50 and 75 ohms, so no extra un-un is needed. In stronger signal locations, however, I would strongly suggest using a preselector or tuned antenna, as the set is quite sensitive to 2nd order intermod.

SGk - Is Right. Except for AC Mains "Noise Isolation" there is no need for an 1:1 UnUn at the back of the Radio : Especially -if- you are using Battery Power and a Balance Antenna like a Dipole {Windom} or a {Horizontal} Loop. However -if- you are using AC Mains to Power the Radio -and- a Long Wire {Random Wire} Antenna -then- using a 9:1 Matching Transformer 'between' the Coax Cable feed-in-line and the single Wire Antenna along with a Ground Rod is the recommended method of getting the Maximum Signal from your Antenna to the Radio with the least Noise. iane ~ RHF |
