I have an 80s model delco am/fm radio. I'd like to attach an external long wire AM antenna, an external FM antenna, and rig something up so I can listen to it with headphones at bedside. Questions: 1. What do I need to do/build the headphone connection? Can I put something together using the car radio speaker wires? 2. Is it possible to hook up the long wire antenna without getting too complicated? Can I use the antenna plug on the radio in some way, or will I have to get inside the box? I don't know a lot about electronics. I have a soldering iron and have fixed the occasional loose wire on things around the house, but not much more than that. Or should I just forget it and buy a portable receiver? I mainly want to listen to AM talk at night and a particular FM college station in the next town. I read on several posts about using a car radio because of the AM reception. I've also thought about buying a used Grundig receiver, in particular the S350. I think having the option of listening to shortwave might be fun. Does this thing put out good audio via headphones? Thanks. It would be easier to buy a normal radio. For AM a CCRadio or GE Superadio 3 would work. The best FM reciever there is is the Tivoli Audio Henry Kloss Model One, but be prepared to plunk down mucho dinero for one ($100 last time I checked) and it's not that great on AM. I'd go with a SR3, or you can try to get an SR2, which some think had better build quality, but since it's (obviously) an earlier, out of production model it's hard to find. |
