1 - YES - You are right the Select-A-Tenna can be used beside the
AM/MW Radio for improved reception; and often doing just that works OK.

2 - Sometimes inside and Office Building it is necessary
to run a Wire to an Out-Side Area or Window to
'import' a Signal to the Office Space {Desk} which is
the Listening Area for the Radio. The Select-A-Tenna
is then used as a AM/MW Tuner-Coupler for the
External Wire Antenna. -Example-

3 - Other times when a single AM/MW Radio Station
is the Target-of-Interest of the Radio Listener and
Interior AM/MW Radio reception is difficult. The
Select-A-Tenna can be located near a Window or
Exterior Wall and a feed-in-line {Twisted Speaker
Wire} can be used to 'import' the selected AM/MW
Radio Station's Signal into the Radio via the Radio's
AM/MW Antenna Input Terminals or Jack. -Example-
