BRIAN,
1. Read these three Messages that are posted on the SWL Antennas and AM & FM Antennas eGroup on YAHOO ! * The Classic simple "Random" Wire Antenna http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWL-AM...na/message/465 * IMPROVING on the Classic simple "Random" Wire Antenna http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWL-AM...na/message/466 * Building 9:1 Matching Transformer for the Improved Classic simple "Random" Wire Antenna http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWL-AM...na/message/467 2. IIRC - The RadioShack DX-398 (Sangean ATS-909) has both a Whip Antenna and External Antenna Jack: * Try connecting the Wire from your Inverted "L" Antenna to both and see which provides the best results. * Generally the RadioShack DX-398 has a reputation for being better using an External Antenna connected via the 1/8" Jack on the Side of the Radio. This is a Stereo Jack and you should use a Stereo 1/8" Plug with the End-Tip connected to the External Antenna Wire and the Rear-Barrel connected to the Ground Wire. NOTE: The Center-Middle-Barrel of the 1/8" Stereo Plug is NOT Used. 3.

I am using an inverted L random wire that feeds right in through the window where I have my radio. Was wondering if using coax as the lead in and running a wire from the braided shield at the feed point to a utility ground right outside the window would help cut down on the noise that's being generated by I assume my neighbor and perhaps myself. If so, do I just tape back the braid and connect the inner wire of the coax to the alligator clip that I attach to the whip on my dx-398? If you need more info please let me know. Thanks Brian .. |
