ELFA,

For 'very good' FM reception on a GE Superadio II use the FM Dipole
Antenna Terminals on the back righ side of the radio.

Form the simple 300 Ohm Twin Lead FM Dipole Antenna's 'arms' in a "V
or in a Half-Square |__. .__| to generally receive your best signal.

For the 'best' FM reception on a GE Superadio II use an Multi-Element
FM 'outside Omni or Yagi Antenna with 75 Ohm Coax Cable and a 75 300
Ohm Matching Transformer connected to the radio's FM Antenna Terminals
on the back righ side of the radio.


OBTW: The Whip Antenna on the GE Superadio II Measures 38.5 " Long.


FWIW: Most of the new car 'solid' (one piece) antennas measure 39".

In article , WShoots1 says...

Attach a wire the length of the last segment. It might not be pretty, but
I'll bet it would work .

Maybe an aluminum knitting needle will work. It can fit down into the hollow
whip.

Tried it already with a short piece of whip antenna from my junk box. There's
something inside the last extension that prevents it from going in very far.
