Technical (FM antenna hook-up) question-Yamaha RX-V995

[Tincap]

Hey gang!

I've just picked up a Yamaha RX-V995, but when I brought it home and checked it out, I found that it requires an adaptor for the FM antenna. Are any of you folks familiar, with the type of fitting on these Yamaha adaptors and what they are called? Originally the receiver came with the adaptor, but if I know what to look for, I could probably jerry rig something together.

Not much on the DX front to report, as I've been pretty busy.

Cheers!

Manual shows that the FM input connector is just a standard 75 ohm coax connector (F-style if I were to make a guess).

AM has a coonection for the ferrite loop and/or a long wire.

Yes, I've managed to find something in my box of goodies. Thanks!

Another connector that might come in handy in your DX toolbox would be a PAL connector. Grundig radios use them. You can stick the center wire conductor from an F connector inside the small center cylindrical PAL conductor, and it will work, but it is not really properly connected and may not give a good center conductor connection, let alone a good impedance match.
