- For the X1, you do need the adapter.
- It has no built in ferrite antenna, so no way to couple
- the external into it by induction.

WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY :
{Maybe not a good effective way -but- never the less a way.}

Building an "Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler" :

1 - Eight Inch long Plastic Tube that Fits over the Whip Antenna.

2 - Forty-Eight to Sixty Turns of Insulated Stranded Hook-Up Wire
evenly space along the Plastic Tube. Secure with Black Plastic
Electrical Tape and secure the Tape with a Black Plastic Wire Tie.

3 - Both Ends the the Hook-Up Wire connected to an RCA Jack.

4 - Slide the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler over the Whip Antenna.

5 - Connect the RCA Plug {Output} of the C.Crane AM/MW
Twin Coil Ferrite Rod Antenna to the RCA Jack.

Turn-On the Radio and Antenna and Enjoy Listening )

That Something Extra :
Add and SO-239 to RCA Plug Adapter to your Radio Shack Parts :
Use this Adapter to connect your Outside Wire Shortwave Radio
Listening (SWL) Antenna to the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler.
Place the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler over any 'portable'
AM/FM Shortwave Radio's Whip Antenna and Enjoy.
