Can this RCA transformer be used to connect my older Onkyo AM/FM receiver to a 300 ohm dipole or other type FM antenna? If so, can I expect better FM?

All I know of these transformers is that they allow a TV coaxial cable to be connected to a vintage TV. I can only offer my opinion on using it to hook-up an FM antenna to receiver, and that is that it should be expected that reception should improve. Since the item is reasonably priced I would recommend giving it a try. Good luck.

Yes it should help you get much better reception.It is set up to be used as a 300 ohm hook-up which connects to two screws on the back of your unit. It should be clearly marked.The only difference there would be is if your receiver has a 75 ohm hook-up which will look like the same connector as your cable TV hook-up which will mean that you will need an adapter that Amazon offers as a choice when you order this Antenna. It is very easy to do.good luck and enjoy.

that depends of course on the power of the radio station. Simply put, at this time: of all portable receivers that i have played with (and i have owned too many) this is the most sensitive for FM. For AM: It is not in the same league as the PL-310ET (the ferrite rod is too short). For SW: distance is not the issue, but time of day and sun activity -but it is quite good. In worst case, Amazon is very generous in understanding that this was returned because it did not meet your requirements

Not sure...my husband uses it entirely for shortwave radio reception, which is very good. I would assume since that reception is coming from greater distances than FM/AM stations that it would enhance their reception, but can't answer for sure.

I think that the output from the antenna is a digtal format. If you want to convert that to a analog format you could use your converter box for that purpose.

This device will work on any of the FM radio frequencies, but I do not believe you will be able to tune in TV stations on it. So, no it will not work for you. I am only 99% sure this is correct.Had another thought,.....this is a transmitter and sending the signal from your device to the FM reliever, therefore it is not what you are looking for. Mine seems to still work after a couple years of light use.

You didn't mention what model of Sharp receiver you were trying to put a FM antenna on. The general guideline for FM dipole (loop) antennas is IF the receiver is made in the US you would use a FM 75ohm adapter. If it's made in Europe then, generally, a 75ohm PAL connector. There are variants I run in from time to time. I think your solution would be to buy a US 75ohm antenna and buy a 75ohm PAL adapter for it. Then you would be able to fit US or European FM antenna mounts. Both items are sold on Amazon.com. I hope this information helps.

There are at least 3 types of connectors for FM. This one is a PAL connector which is Push-On. I bought the wrong one, and had to get the one with the SCREW-ON connector for my Sony. Some just have open wires that are like speaker connectors for the FM antenna. Look on the back o your Samsung and see what kind of connector you have.

If your antenna attaches with two screws, you will be good to go. If the only antenna attachment is for a co-ax cable, you will need the 300 ohm adapter.

Assuming you are referring to the standard coaxial or antenna connecters, no. You will need some kind of converter to distribute the signal to an rca cable. I'm fairly certain they exist.

If the receiver has terminals to attach an external AM/FM antenna, it will work. You cannot attach this to an existing antenna.

No it's not going to work, but this will work just fine as it also have a watt max stereo regulator in it, Pyle-Pro P1501ATU 1500 Watts Hybrid Pre Amplifier with AM/FM

Well that depends if there are two connection terminals (positive & negative) for the antenna on the back of your system. If so, this antenna will vastly improve your FM reception. I have a 40 year old Pioneer SX-636 AM/FM receiver and live in the countryside. After adding this antenna to my system it now picks up numerous FM stations that I could not tune in before. I am quite elated and satisfied with the antenna.

Just like with my portable digital TV, I suppose it should work as good o better being a simple FM radio signal is not as cluttered with information. The key is finding the correct adapter to connect. We watch TV at the beach 60 miles from the station, whose to say you cannot increase your FM Ange to 200 miles with this antenna.

I don't see why you can't use this for any device that has RCA outputs. It's just a ground loop eliminator. I used it to get rid of the hum on a home audio system and it is still working great.

keep looking, you just need a uhf amplifier, find one at radio shack. or even a old tv vhf,uhf amplifier,thats built in antena...

This antenna connects with a 75 ohm coax cable. The real problem is that over the air signals are digital and requires your TV set to have a digital tuner; otherwise you would need a converter for this antenna to the best of my knowlage.
