Drake 2C Ant Connector

Postby sebring38 » Thu Nov 05, 2009 7:29 pm

I recently got a Drake 2C. It has a phono plug for the antenna input. My question: Is there an adapter that can connect a coax connect to phono plus?

Yes - I have seen them, and have had them at one time. Check with places like Radio Shack (use the catalog, most stores won't have it in stock).

I found one here: http://www.pl-259.com/page1.html - it is $3.00 - PL-259 female to RCA male. I looked at Radio Shack - did not find one.
