Default Antenna Replacement Experiment

Is it feasable to remove the ferrite antenna from an am radio & replace it
with an external multi-turn box loop with the same primary/secondary
inductance?



Hi Spin

I cant offer any information about removing the ferrite antenna and
replacing it with an external loop. But, I can tell you that a few turns
of wire from the loop, wrapped aroung the radio, with the original ferrite
antenna connected as normal, can be made to couple the external loop to the
receiver to greatly improve reception.
