how to hook up wire FM antenna to 75 ohm plug

Many new receivers do not have 300 ohm fm antenna connections which are the 2 wire ones, they only have a 75 ohm plug for FM antenna. If you need to hook up a wire antenna to a FM plug this shows you how.
here are some pictures of 300 ohm to 75 ohm adapters.

That little 75-300 adapter you used there: have you ever taken one apart and looked inside? I'll bet you haven't. Nine out of 10 have direct connections--two little jumper wires and nothing else. There's no ferrite choke transformer like they're supposed to have. If you're getting poor reception, this is probably why. Make sure you're getting what you're paying for.

#1 Lesson: *NEVER* throw away lil parts like this one thinking you'll *never* *need* *them* *again.* I actually found that 300 to 75 (Radio Shack) from probably 30 years ago, in a bag of old odds/ends and used it for a great amplifier I just bought at a thrift shop for 10 bucks!! Analogue rules!!

My tuner doesn't have that round connector. Instead, it has a bolt n screw to attach a bare wire. Has a separate bolt n ground screw, too.

One question, how could I know if my antenna is 75 or 300 ohms? My antenna's conector is a thin male F type and the one in my stereo system is a thick male F type. Thanks in advance!

I have an old Pioneer SX-550 Receiver. It takes 300 and 75 ohm antenna, however it does not have a female coax. It only has the twin lead terminals. I know that sounds weird, It would be easy to explain if I could send you pictures and the manual. My question is, if I buy a 75 to 300 converter, do I plug into the 75 terminals or the 300 terminals?

A dipole antenna is about 70 ohms, close enough. A folded dipole on the other hand is close to 300 ohms.

which will give you better reception FM DIPOLE or wire cut to the FM broadcast band?
Thanks you

[mickblock]

Is that the same coax adapter for crt televisions?

Thank you. would like to see how it's done vintage receivers.

Thank you thank you thank you. You have saved my day.

Here's a question. I have an '87 Yamaha reciever that never makes anything easy on me. It has spots in the back in a row of four - 300 bal, 75 unbal (both under a FM heading), a spot under AM, and one that's marked ground. I have ZERO idea how to hook up this old Terk FM antenna my dad gave me from his old hi-fi. It splits into two wires like you mentioned but I don't know if they get split into which spots on the back of the unit or what.

[gamelyinn]

my radio only has one single wire. What do you do with that?

[marks]

what if I have the other way around, bare wire connector marked 75 ohm(like the AM shown) and a coaxial antenna male connector (ANTOP amplifier).

[MUITC]

hello mate!can i ask you something!?i have a small radio that has one small cable for fm antenna(logically)!can this wire connect to am loop antenna(that i have)?improve the signal quality??or be worst??thanks(sorry i dont know about antennas)

[jasonl]

If I only want to listen to FM radio, do I need to fix the AM antenna? 1:00min what does make it like a T means? Thanks

[elliottevans]

I have two clip inserts like the am on my stereo for fm. so basically how do I hook up a 75 ohm to a 300 ohm

[timotb]

I have the 300-75 ohm adapter. No dipole antenna wires. Can I make a diapole wire antenna using speaker wire? How long? what wire gage?
