I'll google that one and try it. I'm happy with the reception I am getting but I guess part of the fun is playing around with stuff like antennas.... I figure with my little unit, I can't ask it to do too much. I figure I should have at least 2 different antenna lengths, probably 4 would even be better. I also figured out the SW radio I had 13 or so years ago, it was an RS DX-390 that went kaput after 2 years. I remember it would auto-mute though when flipping the dial. Too bad I mucked it, reading through the web, it was probably fixable. And DxAce, thanks much for your input. Now if I could find a radio shop here in South Carolina besides Radio Shack that sold shortwave/scanner stuff........ Grove is in Brasstown, NC. How far is that? |
