Antenna

Tarter

I purchased an old Rotel RX-202 MKII. It didn't come with an Antenna and I was hoping someone would have a suggestion on what I should buy or use as one.

I'm assuming it is a receiver. If the antenna connection is for 300 ohm,
make a half-wave dipole antennal using twin lead. Very easy.

Use 97.5 MHZ as the frequency (in the middle of the FM band).

Its a Stereo.

This will work good.

You can also just buy it at RS for about $3. Or you could get a simple set of rabbit ears with a coax connection to 300 ohm for even better reception.

Move the dipole or antenna around for best signal and mount it with thumb tacks on the wall.. It really depends where you live. If in the city the dipole will work well. If in the country the higher the antenna the better.

Its a receiver as described by Rotel.

I guess they do call it a receiver. I must not know the difference.
