Default Cambridge SoundWorks # 740 Radio - Loop Antenna Up-Sizing ?

Telamon,

I have used the Select-A-Tenna with the Cambridge SoundWorks
# 740 Radio using a 1/8" Mono-Plug into the Select-A-Tenna and
a 3/32" Stereo Plug {Tip-and-Ring - not the Barrel} into the Radio.

While this works OK - each time the AM Radio Station is changed
the Antenna must be re-tuned. One of the Users of this Radio in
the Kitchen does not want to deal with Playing-wth-the-Antenna.

Also - I have used the Crane AM/MW Twin Coil Ferrite Rod Antenna
and the TG33 In-Door AM/BCB Medium Wave Active Loop Antenna
with the Cambridge SoundWorks # 740 Radio both of which tend
to OverLoad the Radio's RF Front-End. Plus again they need the
External AM/MW Antenna Re-Tuned each time that the Radio
Stations is changed.

Currently - I can use the small little (OEM) Loop Antenna with the
Select-A-Tenna {Taped to the Inside Top of the Select-A-Tenna}
and this will help to improve the AM/MW Radio Reception, some
what . . .

I want to simply have an "Un-Tuned" Large External AM/MW
Loop Antenna that is located 'out-side' that does not requirer
Tuning and gives me improved AM/MW Radio reception. ~ RHF
