I have used a reel antenna as well as a homemade dipole thus far, both with
& without a Radio Shack shortwave antenna amplifier . . .

Hi:
Which external antenna are you using? I recently found that the wire
antenna that came with my Kaito 1102 didn't do much for me, but the
reel antenna that came with my SW7600GR is quite effective.
