Also...what about grounding ?

I'd play with it with just the built in whip, unless you are in a
shielded building or surrounded by QRM. That is a Sangean ATS-803A and
there is a lot of info about it. Be careful when connecting long wires
to portable radios, it's easy to fry the front end of the radio.
