Re: spliters et al



hi,

the antenna didnt have an "f" connector so i bought a "rabbit ear" to "f" connector device and screwed it onto the antenna and the coax into the other end. i wasnt sure this was right, but i was sure i knew more than the clerk at the store.

is that the correct protocol?
thanks,
peter
