In ham radio, you are into the "stealth" antenna game. Not seen, not

with deed restrictions and can't have an outside antenna.

Consider one of these:

1. Feed your FM tuner from the cable network. Use a 75 ohm cable to
300 ohm twinlead transformer -- radio shack. You might also need a
line splitter, in the event that you have a TV connected to the outlet
you wish to use. If you have a "Type F" connector on the back of the
FM receiver, then you don't need the balun transformer, and can feed
it directly. This is usually the best bet, but be aware that some
cable providers do not provide an FM signal over the cable. Make a
call to tech support first.


You're likely to get someone who has no idea what you're talking
about (at least the first one or two). If your FM receiver and TV are
near each other, you could find it MUCH easier to try this than to
take the "helpless option".
