Have you tried using the Select-A-Tenna with a Lazy Susan
using a Coupling Coil with the Collapsed Whip Antenna ?
Use an Speaker Wire Audio Cable with an 1/8" Mono-Plug
at one end to Plug into the Select-A-Tenna Model 541-M
which has the 1/8" Jack built into it.
Collapse the Whip Antenna on the E1 Radio until there is
only about an Inch or Two "Stub" Sticking out of the Case.
Wrap a thin piece of Cardboard around it and Tape the
Cardboard to from a Coil Form. Wrap Ten to Twenty Truns
of Insulated Hook-Up Wire on the Coil Form. You now have
a Coupling Coil for the Whip Antenna.
Connect the ends of Wires from the Coupling Coil to the
ends of the Wires coming from the Speaker Wire Audio Cable
with the 1/8" Mono-Plug.
Place the Coupling Coil over the Whip Antenna Stub.
Plug the 1/8" Mono-Plug into the Select-A-Tenna.
Turn the E1 Radio "ON" and then Tune the Select-A-Tenna
and Rotate the Lazy Susan for the best AM/MW Radio Signal.
This set-up may allow the Peaking and Nulling of AM/MW
Radios Stations that using the Whip Antenna alone will
not allow.
hope this helps - iane ~ RHF
