Can somebody tell me how to hook this %$#@ thing up to my radio? It came today. The cable that comes with it has a plug that goes into the antenna

Sorry. Mine was wire free but useless. The reception was no better. I returned it. Buena Suerte.

In my application I was using it with a cc witness plus. The witness plus is not setup to connect an external am antenna. I simply placed the antenna next to the radio and rotated it until I got good am reception. Trust me it will work without a wired connection. Hope this helps

You haven't said what radio you own and if it has an input for a medium wave antenna, if it doesn't you simply place the antenna close to the radio and you use the tunning knob on the antenna for best reception. You should also rotate the antenna slowly. In case the radio has a mini plug input for that antenna then you have to get a mini to mini cable and connect it that way.

My radio has screw terminals for the antenna, so I cut one plug off, stripped the wires to bare copper (making sure the two conductors don't touch) and attached one wire to each screw.

You don't need to. In most cases a radio that has a MW antenna input jack or screws is only connecting to a crude loop of wire going around the internal ferrite antenna. Connecting this antenna directly to that type of internal piece of wire doesn't help. Just place the Kaito next to your radio and at a right angle to the internal ferrite antenna of the radio to get the most out of it.

I would like to just know how to hook it up!! I cannot figure out what goes where and there are no directions!! I know the outfit was cheap, but geez!!! If you like yours so much, then purchase one to go with it!! Could you help me get mine set up?? I just cannot figure out what wire goes where. and not all of them fit

Doug - it's as simple as plug and play. I mounted the device under the dash and ran the antenna to the out side on top of the cab. Tucked the wire in the weather strip and came in throught the door and dash area. This is my second unit to purchase and will highly recommend it. Thinking about buying a third one for my boat. Good luckKeith H.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

The make a couple of different antenna adapters. You have to get the correct one.

That is the CB I'm using with it. You remove the rubber duckie, and attach the coax. It seems to me that having some sort of plug for the duckie mount would be nice, but you're on your own there.

Sounds like you have a short in the antenna wire. Check for continuity between the center wire and the ground shielding on the antenna wire. Most likely if shorted the problem is in the connector where it connects to the radio. Also try a different antenna & wire.

Hi Steven NelsonThis is the harness adapter, and you will need an antenna adapter as well.Thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

Look up the wiring codes for your aftermarket radio. There should be a wire marked "dimmer" or "dash light" or something similar. That's what you connect it to. It would help if you would tell us the model of the radio you're installing in your car and we could tell you the exact wire you need to connect.

There is an antenna on the radio. So im knot sure how you would hook up a different one

If you use a pen or screwdriver to widen the hole and wet the hole it will "screw" onto the antenna. I use it that way on my car.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise youll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

For me the antenna is fine, but it's connector is a coaxial standard . You should check the receiver specifications, especially resistance (usually 75 ohms) and then you can connect any standard antenna that meets those specifications.

Depending on the hookup, either use the RCA jacks or direct wire. Make sure the switch on the back on the radio is set to external speakers.

The output is VAC. Your radio is probably DC. Not sure that's going to work.

You should go to the Grundig website. There may be a downloadable one. If you didn't receive one with your radio, I would ask for a replacement from the company. Rock on!

Connect the radio blue/white to the antenna adapter's blue wire. That is all.
