Default Simple FM Antenna, C. Crane, Radio Your Way (Pogo) and Radio Shark (RS)

As far as I can tell, the "simple" dipole is a single strand of wire
wrapped in plastic. It's supplied by the Pogo mfger. In the shark it
plugs into a single antenna socket for an external. For the Pogo it
plugs into what is called the phones socket. The question remains. Why
does this simple wire work reasonably well in one radio device but not
the other? The connection looks snug in both cases.


With the radio shark, that jack is actually a headphone jack that
doubles as an external antenna jack. Sounds to me like the Pogo does
the same thing.
