Marantz 2230 Antenna question

[Denver jt]

I just purchased a Winegard 6010 fm antenna to improve FM signal reception. Does anyone have a current photo that they could post with how I hook it up to my Marantz 2230? The antenna has a coax output. I have the manual and I have searched the web and I am still a little confused???? When I attached my current dipole to the 300 ohm inputs exclusively it wasn't great. When I attached one to the 75 and one to the "middle" 300, it seemed to improve. Now that I'm upgrading the antenna, I really want to make sure I don't screw up the connections....

I think if I saw a picture of the receiver connections, it would help clear it up for me. Thanks!!

I think you have to buy this one

That's what you need. Coax is 75 ohm and dipole is 300 ohm. Attach antenna to the coax end of the adapter and the dipole end to your receiver 300 ohm terminals (the two on the right looking from the back).

Thanks so much! Part is ordered and I plan on installing the antenna in the next few days. I'll update the thread soon.

Just to add my $0.02, I was stunned to discover that "directional" FM antennas were almost a thing of the past. The stations I'm trying to pull in require more gain and front-to-back ration than omnidirectionals were designed to give. If you're in a metro area and all the stations you want to listen to are local to you, then the Winegard you selected will be great. But I ended up going with this inexpensive directional model which I may mod into an even tighter, more directional pattern:

I also added a Channel Master antenna rotor so I could pick up stations up and down the west coast of Florida. Have fun!
