For One and All,
. Using the Whip {Telescopic} Antenna on a 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw.../message/14587 . The Whip Antenna : The 'fully extended' {Seven-Section} Whip Antenna on the Redsun RP2100 Radio measures 44 Inches (112 cm) Tip-to-Base. . Shortwave Radio and the Whip Antenna : Most of the time for Shortwave Radio Listening the Whip Antenna should be 'fully extended'. . Tip - Ideally the Radio should be placed next to a Window so you get the most RF Signal and least household RFI Noise. . FM Radio : When only Six-of-the-Seven Sections of the Whip Antenna on the Redsun RP2100 Radio are extended the Whip measures 36 Inches (91.5 cm) Tip-to-Base. [Top Section Not Extended] . When only Five-of-the-Seven Sections of the Whip Antenna on the Redsun RP2100 Radio are extended the Whip measures 32 5/8 Inches (83 cm) Tip-to-Base. [Top Two Sections Not Extended] . When only Four-of-the-Seven Sections of the Whip Antenna on the Redsun RP2100 Radio are extended the Whip measures 26 5/8 Inches (67.5 cm) Tip-to-Base. [Top Three Sections Not Extended] . Tip - For FM Radio Reception a 1/4 WL Antenna is about 31.9" to 33.6". So when you extend 'only' Five-of-the-Seven Sections of the Whip Antenna on the Redsun RP2100 Radio the Whip is 'about' the Right Length for Optimum FM Radio Reception "In Theory". . YMMV - This is of course dependent on your location and that location's relationship to the FM Radio Stations that your are trying to Receive and Listen to. . Tip - Tilting the Whip Antenna and Rotating the Whip Antenna all can help or hinder getting a better FM Radio Signal. . -Note- Usually 'tilting' the Whip Antenna and Rotating the Whip Antenna has less effect on Shortwave Radio Reception -but- Sometimes it can help to reduce some household RFI Noise. . -Again- Moving the Radio with the Whip Antenna 'fully extended' closer-to or directly-in-front-of a Window seems to be the best signal thing to do when Listening to Shortwave Radio Off-the-Whip Antenna. . FWIW {IMHO} - These comments apply to most 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios when using their Whip Antennas. . . know your whip -and- how to use it ;-} - iane ~ RHF {pomkia} . . - - - In , - - - "ziggycobra" ziggycobra@... wrote: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/redsun...os/message/529 - - Hi.
