I have one of these Grundig wire-reel antennae that came as a kit with the
classic YB400 radio. I just bought an Eton E100 - a very nice radio for the
price - keeps me tuned in when I am away from the Icom R75. I would like to
use this reel antenna with it, but the Eton does not have an antenna input
jack. What is the proper wiring of this two-pole headphone-plug-like
antenna connector to an alligator clip that I can attach to the whip? Is
the center pole the connection to the wire? What is the other pole for
(probably dead, just using the connector as a conveniently available
part???)


(or maybe I should just get a good 'ol length of wire and solder the
alligator clip to that?)

Thank ya 'all in advance for responses to this admittedly trivial question.
