Eton E1 XM + C.Crane Twin Coil Ferrite
 

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.

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.

BTW, "PAL" is what they call that connector in North America. I think
they call it a Belling-Lee (or something like that) where they really
use it in the rest of the world.

Building an "Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler"

...

- - You do not need an adaptor with the twin coil ferrite antenna
- - just use the ferrite rod and find the sweet spot on your radio.
- - That antenna does not work with shortwave just am.
- - Go to youtube and search twin coil ferrite antenna.

TWIN COIL FERRITE AM ANTENNA DEMO {YouTube.Com}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M348V1uNxC4

- For the X1, you do need the adapter.
- It has no built in ferrite antenna, so no way to couple
- the external into it by induction.

WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY :
{Maybe not a good effective way -but- never the less a way.}

Building an "Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler" :

1 - Eight Inch long Plastic Tube that Fits over the Whip Antenna.

2 - Forty-Eight to Sixty Turns of Insulated Stranded Hook-Up Wire
evenly space along the Plastic Tube. Secure with Black Plastic
Electrical Tape and secure the Tape with a Black Plastic Wire Tie.

3 - Both Ends the the Hook-Up Wire connected to an RCA Jack.

4 - Slide the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler over the Whip Antenna.

5 - Connect the RCA Plug {Output} of the C.Crane AM/MW
Twin Coil Ferrite Rod Antenna to the RCA Jack.

Turn-On the Radio and Antenna and Enjoy Listening :o)

That Something Extra :
Add and SO-239 to RCA Plug Adapter to your Radio Shack Parts :
Use this Adapter to connect your Outside Wire Shortwave Radio
Listening (SWL) Antenna to the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler.
Place the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler over any 'portable'
AM/FM Shortwave Radio's Whip Antenna and Enjoy.


it ain't perfect -but- it works ~ RHF {pomkia}
