You need a 4:1 balun to convert from the balanced 300 ohm at your receiver to
the unbalanced 75 ohm RG59 cable coax.

I only got cranky about the pic because OKDonn chastised me yesterday about
not using a tripod, so I did for the pic of the back of the receiver. Well,
okay, the "tripod" was the digital camera sitting on top of two
books-on-tape volumes: A Prairie Home Companion 20th Anniversary Collection

I did not click on it then, but just did. It does not have a coax
connection so you are stuck with your dipole or an adapter for coax-->75ohm.

Yea. I did some more research and sounds like most cable companies have
allocated the bandwidth that used to carry FM signals to more channels.
I am probably stuck with the dipole, although an old boom box I have in the
garage seems to pull NPR pretty well (signal comes from Ames). Although I do

I would expose the shield of the coax, clamp it under the clamp, and
wrap the center conductor around the screw and tighten. That said, I
don't think you're going to get FM frequency signals from the cable
service. You could hang an old TV antenna, or even an FM dipole, in
the attic, and run coax

Won't work, you need a cable box to decode the signal. Some of the TV
signal can be processed by a regular TV tuner (if it is "cable ready")
off the basic cable but the other stuff needs the box to decode as it is
encrypted. The music channels are all digital signals.

Since I have cable television running to the garage now, am thinking about
tapping into the cable for my FM music audio signal.
Local cable carries digital music (I don't subscribe). I realize I can't
pick up those broadcasts using my receiver.
But -- I wonder if the cable signal can be used as a
