That is called a "balun" transformer John, and I am amazed the shack 
doesn't have any.  Every tv antenna up on the mezzanine shelving needs one 
to adapt it for 75 ohm coax.  Some may come with one but they should have a 
peg full of them.  Its a female F-59 socket on one end, and 2 or 3" of flat 
with spade lugs sticking out of what is probably a molded plastic body in 
the middle.  I would rather think that the counter help they hire & train 
the heck out of to sell cell phones simply don't "understand the lingo".

Its the wrong time of the year, but you might tour the flea markets. Some 
of the game stuff came with a switch that had 2 or 3 F-59 connectors on 
them in a little 2x2x1" tin box with a slider switch on its face.  You need 
the one with 2 connectors and the short flat line with spade lugs.  Don't 
pay more than a $2 bill for it, they are hardly worth that.

They will work backwards as the transformer made out of ferrite beads 
doesn't care.
