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

If that was the post he was replying to then he was wrong. Connect to the
500 ohm input. The 50 ohm would be for a resonant antenna, which you don't
have.
