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.

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 |
