with 300 _ Flat Twin Leads" below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like the diagram to the right, see "Antennas with
75 Q Round Leads".
If you have two antennas, see "Separate VHF and UHF Antennas".
Antennas with 300 QFlat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or "rabbit ears") that has 300
