https://www.dropbox.com/s/w77ftih1gt..._0264.JPG?dl=0 The new radio (Pioneer) had a little gold coloured socket for the DAB aerial, but the existing DAB aerial has a plug that's incompatible. Does anyone know what these connectors are called, and where I might buy either a plug to fit the radio or an an adapter that will go from the existing plug to the radio socket. Help |

Help The one on the radio is an SMB The one one the cable is an FME EBay is where I go, Ive just checked plenty there. |

Help The aerial wire looks to have an FME connector on the end. The photo of the radio isn't enough to see what sort of connector that is. Does the list of specs in the radio manual tell you what it is called? Once you know that, you just need to google FME to [whatever] converter and you should be able to mate one up to the other.

writes that's you told Ian....tee hee Tiny, specialised connectors make sense when you're using small-diameter cable. F-connectors are ideal for situations where the inner conductor is the pin of the male - and you obviously can't do this with miniature cable. If you ARE using miniature cable, you'll need to use a different type of F-connector (probably more expensive) - one which has its own pin (and, of course, the cable can be multistrand). -- Ian |
