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.
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
r-F-type connector
----m 75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
.A 75-ohm system is generally around cable with F-type connector
that can easily be attached to aterminal without tools (Commercially
available).
2. A300-ohm system is aflat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached
to a75-ohm terminal through a300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially
available).
~ F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.
When connecting the RF cable to the 1V set, do not tighten F-type
