I have a Grundig S450DLX sw radio and wanted a antenna for it. Will it connect to a 75 ohm coax connector in back?

No it will not...at least not directly. Your best bet, should you decide to purchase this antenna, is to simply "clip" it to the existing external whip antenna. If you don't use the clip it has a standard 4.5mm male end to insert for an external antenna jack but that's it.

Hi, Your Grundig S450DLX uses "F" Type connectors so you will need an F Male to a 3.5mm Female adapter. It may take some looking to find one. I recommend trying to find a short flexible pigtail type as to not put stress on the radio connector. If you are handy & can solder you can make your own. Though not optimal it does also come with an adapter that clips onto the radios mast. If you have trouble finding or making an adapter & want to use this ANT-60 only for this radio you could modify the adapter that it comes with by just cutting off the clip part(leave some wire on it in case you ever want to restore it) & adding an F connector to the wire. Just solder the wire to the center pin. Nice radio, Have fun! Hi, Your Grundig S450DLX uses "F" Type connectors so you will need an F Male to a 3.5mm Female adapter.

its fits either the antenna with the clip piece to be clipped onto the antenna end or a 3.5mm jack as it has a 3.5mm male plug in jack that goes into the piece to clip onto the antenna or a 3.5mm jack as some radios have a 3.5mm female antenna jack.

My husband says this was designed as an auxiliary antenna receptable or to clip to the telescoptic antenna on the shortwave, as he did. The shortwave antenna is out to nearly top of ceiling with the antenna clip on it, pulled out and laid out across top of a bookcase. He gets remarkable reception, better than expected with such a small device.

I bought this kit Klein Tools VDV002-818 Coax Installation and Testing Kit, from Amazon. The connectors are F-type. Works great with HD. Whatever connectors u buy, u will probably need a special crimp tool. This kit is perfect. Good luck. Enjoy

Hi. It has 300 ohm connection studs but the antenna is supplied with a 75 ohm matching transformer (balun). Therefore, you will just need coax with "F" connectors on each end. I recommend RG6. Hope this helps!

I checked this model on ebay, the 75-300 ohm adapter should fit this model. I do not know whether this Terk Amp will improve your radio reception or not. Good luck.

I looked at the back of the unit and the antenna connection looks like the same connection on my Pioneer receiver. However, I am only looking at a photograph of the back of your unit.

A 50 ohm antenna will not work with 75 ohm RG 6 cable. I had the same problem and had to return 50 ohm antenna for a 75 ohm antenna.

For me the antenna is fine, but it's connector is a coaxial standard . You should check the receiver specifications, especially resistance (usually 75 ohms) and then you can connect any standard antenna that meets those specifications.

Yes. You will need an antenna mount, the coax to connect the radio to the mount. The antenna will screw into the mount. You will also need to set it up using an SWR meter.

There is no way to disconnect the coax from the antenna. Mine performs as expected for a G5RV. Well made. It has survived several severe storms and doing well so far this winter. Honestly, one could be made for a lot less, but if you are not into homebrew, I would recommend this as the price is decent for the quality. Using it a Yaesu FT-857 and YT-100 Tuner. Tunes good, but not the best antenna I've used for "all bands".Hope this helps!KC9QVGAlex L

Yes, you need something like this- RF coaxial cable SMA female to UHF SO239 PL259 female RG58 20 inches | Made in the U.S.A. by MPD Digital (TM)It is best to get an adapter with a short cable between the SMA female and the PL259, that greatly reduces stress on the connector on the radio versus a solid connector.

you must use the appropriate connector for the size of coaxial cable you are using. Call Wilson Electronics tech line and they will give you the correct part number/connector to order.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise youll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

Antenna cables are cut to the wavelength -keeps the SWR down, so 1/2 wavelength, ect. are ok. Hope that helps

Don't know exactly but if you look on the back of your unit and you have a male coax cable connector fitting, then it will work.

The HD radio uses a 75 ohm ant. connection. The radio did come with an in the house ant. Mine was white. If you are using a 75 ohm connection, get a 75 ohm splitter from Radio Shack or Wal-Mart. I'm not sure what kind of antenna connection you want to split.

50 ohms - but if all you have is 75 ohm coax, use it. (swr at 75 ohms is 1:1.5, good enough)

How would you connect this antenna, is there a place on the radio for a second antenna (e.g. 75 ohm or two screws?) 75 ohm would require a converter. This is an inexpensive antenna, and not very good. I don't believe it will make the reception better, as you already have an antenna. If your radio has a place to attach a second antenna, look for a better antenna.
