Also, it was never explained that the extra part with 2 clips, is
intended for those people wishing to replace the square shaped
antenna, with a simple long wire form, which is almost the same as the
long wired originally shipped with the degen 1102 radio, so I don't
see the point of that part, as it's useless.


Pure - No the Two-Clips are to connect :

* The White-Clip to the Radio's Screw Antenna Terminal
or Whip Antenna

* The Black-Clip to the Radio's Screw Ground Terminal
or the Chassis Ground.

The Loop Antenna Element is used at all times.


THE 2 CLIP WIRE IS ONLY INTENDED FOR THOSE PEOPLE WITH RADIOS THAT
ARE LACKING THE EXTERNAL ANTENNA JACK !!!

THE DEGEN 1102 HAS THAT EXT. ANT. JACK, SO THERE IS NO NEED TO USE
THAT CLIP THING ON IT
