Antenna clip cable
Antenna clip cable
I've been asking this question in various places for a long while, to no avail, but I'll try again!
Does anyone know a source for those cables with an antenna clip on one end, and a 1/8" jack on the other, for use with a reel antenna and a radio that lacks an antenna jack?
I keep breaking the cables that come with the reel antennas, and purchasing another antenna just to get the cable seems wasteful.
(Yes, I know I could wire up my own cable with an alligator clip or similar.)

No, I want to get the cable only, and not a new antenna.

No, I want just the cable that sits between the radio's whip antenna and the reel antenna.Jock Elliott wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 8:10 am If I understand the question correctly, this is what you want:

Re: Antenna clip cable
Fine, so what's wrong with that cable which was suggested and which had alligator clips on one side and a plug on the other side ? If that isn't what you're seeking, please describe the cable you're seeking for or post some images so that we could understand the type of cable you're asking forpsteckler wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 3:16 pmNo, I want just the cable that sits between the radio's whip antenna and the reel antenna.Jock Elliott wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 8:10 am If I understand the question correctly, this is what you want:

Like this one that comes with the Sangean reel antenna.Andrew (grayhat) wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 3:20 pm please describe the cable you're seeking for or post some images so that we could understand the type of cable you're asking for
A cable with an alligator clip will work, certainly, but this purpose-built cable is nicer, I'd say.

Re: Antenna clip cable
Oh, a cable with alligator clips may not be "nice", but it will work, not sure if there are cables with a "nice clip" like that one sold alone, if that's from sangean, you may check if sangean solds those cables alone (e.g. spare parts or the like), otherwise the alligator one will just work and, judging from the thin wire used in the sangean one, the alligator one will last more, I believe.
