Right Joe its something like that. If your smiley has a BNC connector or sometimes called a bayonet connector or mount, then you use the terminator. The terminator is what's used in cable networks to plug unused ends to load the cable for continuity. Any good electronics store should have them. Not sure about Radio Shack but worth a try. They come in various ohm's so use the 500 for best performance. I also leave the terminator on when not using the transmitter as it protects the connector on the transmitter.
