Antenna question

[lolbananalol2]

I have a Tecsun S2000 which has BNC antenna connectors on it. Is there a way to use the antenna that came with my Tecsun PL-880? Ever since I got this radio, I've only been able to use the telescopic antenna.

Thanks all

Are you talking about the clip on wire antenna?

Then try one of these:

Added in edit:
Most shops that sell electronic test equipment will have these. They are a common accessory. There's also a ton of them on e-Bay. There isn't much to them, so buying a used one would be pretty safe if it looked to be in good condition.

I'm talking about the one that plugs into the antenna jack on the side of the radio.

A bit more of a challenge since you are basically going from an RF jack to what's widely considered an audio connector. None the less, it can be done, but I've never seen a direct adapter personally. You'd need to use two adapters to get what (I think) you are looking for:
