PETE -or- Anyone,

Concerning this Two Conductor Un-Shielded Wire Pairs.

* Is it OK to leave this Wire Pair a straight flat pair ?

* Or, should these wires be "Twisted" (Twisted Pair) about
One to Two Turns-per-Inch to 'reduce' Noise Pick-Up ?

I have always been told that these Wire Pairs should be 'twisted'
to "Reduce" Noise Pick-Up and have always done so. But is this
an exercise in Stupidity-Dumbness based on an "Old-Tech's-Tale"

That's pretty much what they give you. It is a two conductor unshielded
wire, with a 1/8 inch plug on one end, and stripped wires on the other end.
One of the 4 antennas I bought didn't have the cable, but at 10 dollars, I
bought it anyway.

someone tell me the catalog number or any info for the cabe that came
with this

thanks

It doesn't need to attach to most radios, just set it alongside. It's an
impedance
matcher to the loopstick inside the radio, forming a transformer.

If you don't have a loopstick inside, run any old 3.5mm audio cable
(probably) to
the antenna terminals on the radio, for which probably you will have to
adapt the cable
but perhaps not at the radio end. 3.5mm monaural is a good guess (as
opposed to stereo).
