Question by Rishi: How to find FM antenna with the appropriate ‘connector’ for Philips HTS3105 Home theater system?
Hi ,
I have recently bought a Philips HTS 3105 Home theater system which works great.But I am unable to find an FM antenna with the correct ‘connector’ for my system.It’s outer dia is same as that of the normal TV coaxial RF connector , and the center pin has a hole in it.
Sorry for being crude, but i don’t know what is the connector’s name …
Pls. help.
Thanks in advance.

It’s called a push-on “F” connector.
However, unless you are connecting it to your cable system, all you need is a single strand of wire that you can shove into the center hole. The best is a 24 guage or thinner wire, about 3 feet long, with a loose knot in it that forms a crude loop.
I’ve even put a twist-tie in there and it worked as an FM antenna.
If you are going to connect it to a coaxial cable, you will need an adapter. Normally, these come with the system, but if not, it’s a Radio Shack item.
