Hi again Guys,

In conjunction with my previous query (thanks so much too for the
emails guys, the info provided is proving extremely useful in terms of
which radio to purchase) the question of WHICH antenna to hook up to
the Kaito (IF that is the unit I decide upon) is somewhat baffling
considering the huge variety of antennas out there. At the moment, I
have my heart set on either an external outdoor wire antenna or an
active antenna to give me greater capabilities in terms of listening
to more obscure broadcasts. Now what I am needing to know is if any of
you guys have had any experience with the McKay Dymek, Datong or MFJ
range of antennas? In particular, I am very much considering the
MFJ-1020B Active Antenna, as from reports I have read, this particular
model is not only very reliable in terms of build quality, but also
because it has a range of between 300KHz to 30MHz, which if I am
correct, would allow me access to international short-wave as well as
HF bands. Please correct me if I am incorrect on this assumption guys.
Also, would anyone have any info on whether this particular model unit
would work as an amp/pre-selector too?

Thanks so much everyone for your time and advice,
Brian Anasta
