Hello
With a certain degree of predictability now that I have my FM (or VHF or Band II) aerial erected I wish to enquire about connecting it up.
Before you get to those questions you can if you wish admire the aerial in this 34kb jpeg:
It will be connected to two tuners, an Arcam one in my living room and a Tivoli clock radio in my bedroom. The signal strength is high so I don't think I'll be needing an amplifier, instead I'll just use a splitter.
The Tivoli clock radio has an F type socket and the Arcam tuner has a standard sort of a socket which has been used for TV aerials and radio aerials here in the UK for years.
I believe the F type socket is a 300 ohm connector whereas the standard type of aerial connector is 75 ohms.
I've read somewhere that for the Tivoli clock radio I'll need a 300 ohm to 75 ohm Balun transformer. Is this true and how should this be configured?
An additional question is that the splitter I've got is an F type one, which presumably won't make any different to either tuner?
TIA
