Hello,
I have a Par Electronics End Fedz Shortwave antenna that I used before on a Icom R75, but now I'm just using a Sony ICF-SW7600GR portable shortwave radio that has a headphone type of external antenna input. So my question is to find if its possible to buy any sort of adapter for the PL239 connector from the End Fedz to let it connect to the Sony?
Even any info on if this can be done through DIY effort would be helpful. Just not sure what parts would work best. It would be nice to be able to use that End Fedz again and put it outside. It worked well with my Icom R75 and I know the Sony isn't on the same level playing field as the Icom. The Sony came with a wind up wire antenna but I would like to save that for portable use, and keep the End Fedz at home permanently set up outside where I had it before.
