Long Wire Antenna Question
 

The "500 ohm" terminal would be the correct one.

If you were using an antenna that had a coaxial cable going to it then
you'd use the "50 ohm" terminal and a "GND" terminal.

If there is a "GND" or "Ground" third connection an earth ground or
metal cold water pipe ground will improve your reception greatly.

Hi,
I use a Kenwood R-5000 for Dx listening and I am connecting a long
wire antenna to it. I have two screws on the back labeled "50 Ohm"
and "500 ohm"under "Antenna 1"
The omega letter is next to the number and I am assuming it stands for
Ohms.
Which is the proper place to connect the long wire antenna?
Thank you
Mike
