I am not sure, but I think this is the main antenna, if you click the link it should open up google street view. The company does not really have a website only a contact page. Not a lot of info there...

I was told by someone else at least that the AM and FM signals would be able to share the same cable without interfering with each other, said might not even need a band splitter. He recommended I get an MLA 30 active antenna. The trick there though is that it requires power. I dunno if that is then compatible with the receiver but it seemed to be ready made for a coax connection.

So the receiver wanting a long wire antenna, this then means that it wants an antenna of a certain impedance, and one can use a transformer to correct this?
