I need some help from you experts. I have a radio that uses the power
cord as the antenna. I need a better antenna but have no idea where
to add it. I don't know if just soldering a length of wire to the
connection point of the ground wire would help or better to add a two
wire antenna. I just don't know where to add the wires, if it is
possible.
TIA, Walt

Typically there is a metal clamp, either inside or outside the plastic
case of the radio, around an inch long and 1/4" wide, that bolts to the
power cord. This is a capacitive coupler. You can safely add a wire to
that piece of metal, the wire being as long as you want. For FM
broadcast, 5 or 6 feet should be adequate. Use an alligator clip
instead of soldering (in case you change your mind later, or to avoid
melting the power cord).

Email me directly if you want, and I will send you a JPG of what the one
on my bedside clock looks like. It's old, but I doubt that it's changed
much.
