How can I connect an external antenna to my Satellit 500, it doesn use a standard PL-259 connector?
A connector was supplied with the radio in some countries, but if it has been lost Universal Radio in Reynoldsburg, Ohio has a Satellit 500 antenna connector (P/N #0199) for $4.95. Their phone number is 800-431-3939. In Britain, an FM aerial Balun is widely available from Wilkinsons or Great Mills hardware shops, with an FM wall dipole and adaptor, for £2.99. The connector is a DIN type 45325, and is designed for use with 50 ohm or 75 ohm coaxial cable. The Radio Shack “European TV” adapter will plug into the Satellit connector, and effectively change the connection at the radio to a type F video/FM connector, which is easily dealt with.
