Making Connections

With Your New AM/FM Pi

Radio tuners and receivers can have different connections
for your new Pi antenna. Please find the connection that
best matches your tuner or receiver and follow the 
listed instructions.

FM Connections:

75 Ohm Coaxial:

Your TERK antenna has a slip-on coaxial connector on
the FM lead. Simply slide the connector onto the coaxial
terminal. 

See Fig. 1.

75 Ohm Push-Button Connection:

If your Radio tuner or receiver has Push-Button terminals
for FM you will need to use the supplied RED 75 Ohm
matching transformer. First slide the RED 75 Ohm
matching transformer into the connector on the FM lead
of the antenna. Next slide the Red wire into the terminal
marked “FM 75 Ohm”. Lastly connect the BLACK wire into
the terminal marked “FM Ground” or “GND”. 

See Fig. 2.
