I'm familiar with the radio. It has FM broadcast and airband in addition to
shortwave and medium wave.

I assume he wants both, given the subject line.

It's a shortwave radio - see this link.

Depending on the antenna it will work well or not so well, but still
may
cover VHF aircraft. A 300 to 75 balun should be fine, assuming the
antenna uses a 300 ohm balanced feed.

And aircraft antennas tend to be vertical, at least the ones on the
ground, so orient it that way.

Got a unused TV yagi antenna with about 12 directors, dipole, and a

reflector.

Want to hook up a 300 ohm cable to my Sony 2010 receiver FM input.
Do
I

need to

hook up a balun? If yes, would a 75 ohm be good enough? OR should I

just forget

about this plan? TIA.
