an outdoor antenna. The following is abrief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for acoaxial cable.
If your outdoor antenna uses a75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the
1V set.
1.A 75-ohm system is generally around cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to aterminal
without tools (Commercially available).
