Do the rabbit ears use coax cable, or twin lead? A basic dipole (such as rabbit ears) is about 75 ohms, so a transformer could be used to match to 300-ohm ribbon twin lead. Depending on how hard you want to work on this, you could install coax into the rabbit ears directly to the elements. If the antenna already has coax, I would just leave it alone, since it works well now.

It already has 75 ohm coax on it. It looks like the insides can deal with my modulator.

I'll just leave the transformer alone since it doesn't seem to be causing any harm. I have the modulator on a little less then half power and it covers my entire (small) house and most of the propriety.
