The message
from (JGBOYLES) contains these words:

Is there a recognised way to connect a radio that just has a
telescopic aerial

to a coax cable so that an external aerial can be used?


Sure, just connect a short jumper from the center conductor of the
coax to the
telescopic antenna.
What is a 'Heath Robinson' idea? Is that something desirable?

Typicaly a British bit of vocabalry, meaning "Any other answer or
thing I could do to make it work" in it's simplist term. Dave d;-)
