Default Sony 7600GR External Antenna Jack, Needs to be settled, Can it be shorted out to the point that it destroys the radio.

Thanks, folks, for taking the time to delve into this a bit more
deeply. One question, though, even if the radio itself is in no risk
of any damage, could there possibly be any risk of damage to a non-
Sony amplified antenna that might be hooked up to this jack? i.e.
could this low-level current flowing out to the coax cable damage the
amplification unit of an active antenna?



That would depend upon the antenna. However, the most power that would be
delivered to the antenna would be maybe 40 mW.
