Hi Rob,
The part you describe is for reducing electrical noise from your
home's appliances (TV,Washers etc). I have an AN-LP1 and find that it
does not really do much and as long as your antenna is placed away
from a wall dimmer switch/TV etc it is not really of much use. I
think the part has a ferrite rod inside. I would not worry about not
having it.

I've got the AN-LP1 antenna that comes with the Sony 7600GS radio. It
looks like the picture on the Universal Radio website where the wire
from the control box plugs directly into the loop antenna. (This is
what is shown in the instructions also).

However, there is another AN-LP1 shown on the Radio Netherlands
website where the control box wire connects to an "adaptor type plug"
about 3 inches long and that plug then plugs into the loop antenna.
What's this about? Why don't I have this adaptor type plug and what
is it? Why does it come with some AN-LP1's but not others?????

Any info. will be much appreciated. Thanks
