I'm sorry, probably a very novice question here, but I'm a novice. :-)
Just trying to pull in a very weak AM station signal in an office building, and wanting to connect an external antenna to my GE Super Radio III. I've visited a Radio Shack to see their AM/FM Indoor Antenna, and I've also called Best Buy about the two Terk antennas they have in-store. In neither case was the store attendant certain as to how these antennas would actually connect to my radio, so I'm hoping someone here can help. As most of you probably already know, the radio has three screws on the back: AM, FM, and Ground. The antenna I saw at Radio Shack had a coax cable with an adaptor that ended in the little hook connectors (like you'd find on an old TV) that would be suited to such screws, but the guy there said the coax cable was only for FM. It also had a plain wire pair connection that he said was for AM (he was too busy with other customers to help further, though, and just kind of mumbled this to his coworker, so I'm not sure). I haven't yet seen the connections on the Terks, but the guy at Best Buy said over the phone that it would probably require some sort of transformer to connect. Can anyone help with how exactly one of these antennas must be connected to these screws on the back of the radio? Thanks very much. Jim |
