Default How Do You Connect an External FM Antenna to a CCRadio?

I have an original CCRadio (not a "Plus"). How can you connect an
external FM antenna to it? It only has AM connectors on the back - is
there a way?

What about the CCRadio Plus? Does it have and FM antenna connector?

Thanks,
Dan

There's /always/ a way grin.

I'm using the little ten dollar Terq from an OfficeMax and am using the
75-75 "converter" which terminates in spades and I just have soldered
a few inches of bell wire onto them and have them wrapped around
the whip.

I am in a /very/ poor reception area (only a window facing south) and my NPR
station is due east. The Terq took the reception on it from 90% to 100%.

And, of course and as always, YMMV (your mileage may vary).

No. And it should have. Gotta see about a mod.

Thanks,
