I received the Eton E1 as a gift. After reviewing the pros/cons/quality
issues, I decided to keep it.

I saw the C.Crane Twin Coil reviewed as a great AM antenna for the E1 so
I bought it. Now I have to connect the antenna to the PAL connector of
the E1.

I contacted C.Crane and they told me I needed a PAL to RCA adapter.
These seem to be hard or impossible to fine online. Does anyone in this
group know of a source for them ??

If not, maybe someone here can tell me if this will work.
The C.Crane antenna uses a RCA jack to connect to the radio antenna
connector so... will the following work

(PAL to F adapter) + (F to RCA adapter). These I can find online.

For what it's worth, I know nothing about shortwave radio, The E1 is my
first shortwave radio and I am just beginning to learn about the hobby.

get your pal to rca he

Brody,

What About Listening to the Shortwave Radio Broadcasts
on this very fine 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio ?

of course One step at a time though.


- I listen to some talk radio that I can receive from the U.S.

? From the U.S. ?

Where Are You Located : City + State + Country ? ? ?

Lower Mainland, British Columbia, Canada
White Rock to be exact, which is just across the border from Blaine WA

Late night, using the whip on the E1 I was suprised to be able to pick
up AM stations in Reno NV, San Francisco, I even picked up one from
Calgary Alberta.

I am having a problem though from about 1000 kHz to 3000 kHz. Anything I
can receive in that range has another station I can hear at the same
time. Always the same station. I can hear it by itself, very loud and
clear at 1600 kHz so I assume that this is its assigned frequency. It is
Islamic music or chanting, religious I think. It is most annoying. I
seem to be able to pick up quite a few stations in this range but always
they overlaid with the one at 1600 kHz, loud enough make pretty much
everything in this range unlistenable. I havent tried in the daytime yet
to see if the problem is the same.

Hopefully the C.Crane AM antenna I just got will be able to help, I have
to wait till I get the PAL to RCA adapter though







so I researched AM antennas and settled on the C.Crane

I am looking at shortwave antenna now.

thanks






For Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL) you may want to use
an External Shortwave Antenna : To make that 'connection'
to a SWL Antenna with a Coax Cable using a PL-259 Plug.

Universal-Radio sells a SO-239 to KOK Antenna Jack Adapter
