I am planning to do a DIY antenna with the first set of plans to use with my Tivoli table radio. The instructions are really not clear but I am just going to attempt how I think it is done and see how it works. I will wrap the speaker wire around the X shape (made of 3/4" MDF) then pull tight and tape the two wires together. Then I will just route the two ends toward the center of the X and tape there, strip the ends and connect the balun directly to it. Then just connect an RG6 coax cable and run it down my wall to my radio.
Cheap DIY FM Antenna
I bought a used Sansui TU-217 some months ago just to have some background music in my living room, I have two questions:
1-There are 2 300 ohm and 1 75 ohm taps in the back of the unit, which one should I use ?
2-My current antenna is a piece of wire connected to the 300 ohm tap. I don't receive some station correctly so I would like to build a small antenna. Thing is I don't have space to have a 3 feet piece of wire hanging inside my living room. Also I live in an apartment so putting it in the roof is not an option.
What can I build that's small and serves the purpose ?
Thanks !!!
