Default How can I receive LM? (i. e. improve LW reception)

Karl Self a écrit :
I have a Sangean ATS909W and a reel antenna, but I receive zilch on
the LW band. Is there anything I can do to make LW work for me?
I'm in Europe.
I'd appreciate any input, thanks.


Guten Abend,

You can try to plug a reel antenna with a STEREO jack, connecting the
antenna to the ring and tip. Then it will activate the reel antenna for
MW and LW.

It works for me. It is not always an improvement. It highly depends on
the transmitter you're listening to, and the RFI conditions around you.
Sometime the ferrite bar antenna embedded in the radio can be better
since it is directionnal.

Tchüss,

Charly
