Need two antennas for my radio tuner

[flibberdipper]

So, right now I'm using a crappy AM antenna for my radio's FM band, and a TV antenna for AM. I need some kinda long ones (at least 20 feet), and the FM one needs to be able to pick up signals really well, since it will be in the basement more than likely, and reception down here sucks. I attached a picture of the connectors (note the AM plug at the bottom).

For FM, I use this: http://www.amazon.com/Winegard-HD-6010-HD-Radio-Antenna/dp/B001HKM1HM/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1400984170&sr=1-3&keywords=am%2Ffm+antenna

 

For AM, I can't suggest anything that is a reasonable price. I am a ameature radio operator, and most of my antennas cost over $300, sorry.

 

EDIT: or by an omni directional antnena and use a band seperator such as: http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=AFST-1&d=Pixel-Technologies-Multi-Band-Signal-Combiner-/-Separator-for-AM-FM-XM-(AFST-1)&utm_campaign=base&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_base

Band separators aren't the best but they get the job done.

Too bad those are meant for regular antennas. I need some kind of indoor one.

The Winegard antenna I linked on Amazon can be used indoors, I have mine in the attic, and it can be hooked up using the standard two wire setup.

 

As for the band separator, you could buy coax to two wire adapters.

Oh. Should have seen that.

Or you can use this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/RCA-Basic-Indoor-Antenna/10983714?adid=22222222227000000000&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=41833582510&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=19880599990&veh=sem

plus the band separator I mentioned earlier. It is a little bit more of a "ghetto" setup, but it saves a few dollars.

 

EDIT: If you go that route, you will need an extra F to twin lead adapter, such as:http://www.legrand.us/onq/audio-video/brackets-accessories/accessories/364774-01.aspx#.U4FX3tRdXxQ

They are usually $10 though.

Just realized that first one in your first post probably won't work, since it's that kind of finger connector (put the horseshoe shaped part over the screw then clamp down on it).

Which is why you need the F to twin wire adapter: http://www.discounthomeautomation.com/On-Q-Legrand-F-to-Twin-Lead-Adapter-OQ36477401?AdID=12950cm00cm0OQ36477401&gclid=CjkKEQjwhoGcBRDlu9S3mo7-udIBEiQASEw7QmK2Q6USzLcMWkuVZaMPgA5Pm62ynFlnib1Otsekh6Pw_wcB

Gee, now I feel special. I'll add all of this to my bookmarks and look at it tomorrow when I'm more awake.
