explain the antenna connection for outdoor reception. 300 ohm, 75ohm what?

It doesn't use a standard TV antenna. It comes with it's own satellite antenna with it's own proprietary connector. The antenna will fit on a shelf or desktop and has about a 20 ft cable.

It is an antenna designed for the radio, no need to worry about it. You need to use it and not another type. if replacing an older XM radio, I believe it is the same antenna

Proprietary minature coax used by most/all XM rcvrs. If you need extra length, purchase extension from them, etc.

Don't know about ohms, i just plugged in the antenna they sent with it. Really long cord, drilled a little hole in the wall and plugged it in.

Grab one of these and enjoy....The TERK XM6 outdoor antenna. You can also get extra cable if you need it. Awesome radio inside the home or in the car!

I used the antenna that came with the product... not sure of the specs Sorry

- Wilson 400 cable is a 50 ohm cable and is not designed to work with the 460101 system. If the directional antenna you purchased has a Type N connector then that antenna is a 50 ohm antenna as well, and is not designed to work as an outdoor antenna with this system.. RG6, 75 ohm, cable is the only approved cable.. Just use good quality RG6 and you should be fine, but use an outside antenna with a Type F connector. If you cable run from inside to outside is excessively long, I believe RG11 would be a more appropriate cable, but I would stay with RG6 unless you are over 100 ft plus. Unless you are using a different Wilson system that what you commented on...Some did use 50 ohm cable in and out..

As best I remember the cord/ cable was weather resistant like cable tv coaxial cable. the 2 antennas that came with the item were space age plastic so weather resistant but I also tried a Wilson brand antenna. all items sort of worked but if trees or buildings are in the way the signal is greatly reduced so even though I got a few bars when I had none i still sent the items back my area is in a valley with trees and hard to get a good signal.

50 feet of RG-6 with "F" connectors on both ends. The antenna is 300 ohms, which is connected to a 300 to 75 ohm bauln.

If the antenna connection is the standard1/8 inch plug, I would think it would work with no problems. If I am not mistaken it is 75 ohms.

If your antenna attaches with two screws, you will be good to go. If the only antenna attachment is for a co-ax cable, you will need the 300 ohm adapter.

Thirty to fifty feet of wire strung up outside will improve your reception. Connect to the set with a connector purchased from an electronics shop, or simply clip onto the whip antenna. A really elaborate outside antenna is not justified with this set. It is quite sensitive and works fairly well on the whip antenna alone (so long as you are not right in the middle of a building surrounded by concrete and metal). Too much signal tends to overload the front end circuits and cause interference from strong nearby stations.

The radio signal is very bad in the 75 ohm connector is round but has a plastic cover, I had to brake the same plastic in the male connector to be able to fit it

This antenna is a step up from a wire antenna, but it can't do much in your situation. It can go from almost-good reception to good reception. Sounds like you'll need an amplified antenna. You may even need to install an outdoor one to get reliable reception.

There is no built in antenna. There is a standard 75 ohm "F" type connector on the rear for signal input. This can come from a small indoor antenna, an outside mast mounted antenna, or from a connection to your local cable television company.

the copper wire is a ground, hook it up to any metal pipe. the other is the antenna place it where you get the best reception.

The antenna connection is a SO239 as far as power supply 20 amp 12vdc min. The power connection is fused bare end wire hope that helps

It has the standard coaxial input for cable, satellite, or antenna. Not sure about 75 ohm.

if u mean 75 ohm coax yeah & also 2 or more (depending on ur set-up ) 75 ohm matching transformers, but if u plan to use 300 ohm twin lead antenna wire - yeah u hafta buy it also OR u can buy a roll of telephone wire & use it for ur lead in wire but u still 2 or more 300 ohm transformers AGAIN depending on ur set-up.., & if u gonna put a tv antenna rotor up.., u can either buy expensive antenna rotor wire OR AGAIN buy a cheap roll of phone wire thats color coded & save $20 plus dollars - ur choice ! ..

It has a standard USB connection, it should power it. I don't know if the 350 has live traffic , that is what the built in antenna is for.

The HD radio uses a 75 ohm ant. connection. The radio did come with an in the house ant. Mine was white. If you are using a 75 ohm connection, get a 75 ohm splitter from Radio Shack or Wal-Mart. I'm not sure what kind of antenna connection you want to split.

The connectors are similar to speaker terminals, with a push button, slip wire, release button. So a sort of friction connection to hold the wire from coming out. It has a GND, AM and FM spots. The supplied FM antenna plugs in perfectly. If you have your own - just need to terminate in 2 wires. It's probably 75 Ohm, but I'm not sure. The only thing I would caution you on - is the placement of the unit. It's in my basement and reception is so bad I can't use it. I live about 30 miles from the radio station transmitters. Mine is virtually brand new - maybe I should box it up and send it to you - half price!
