A day earlier! Someone please help me with this though. That RCA jack on the
back, Chris said would be so much better for sw than the other external antenna
jack. Some of this you already know from my other story/post on extern.antenna
jack. So bare with me. :-)

With the original jack, so I didn't loosen the jack or board I went to the
Shack and bought a 'sleeve' so too speak that I could keep plugged into the
ext.antenna jack all the time and it had an end that accepted the end of my
sloper (homebrewed) which is a typical 1/8" plug. So when I listen, I plug into
my sleeve without any pressure whatsoever on the jack itself or the board by
it, when I'm done I unplug. But there is ALWAYS that one end (the sleeve I
knicknamed it) always plugged into the external antenna jack.

I went to the Shack looking for the same thing today (er...yesterday Wed.) and
I got (against my better judgement)a cat#274-387 it says Stereo to Mono Audio
Adapter *accepts 1/8"stereo phone plug/fits phono jack. I plugged the end of
my sloper, th 1/8" adapter into it ( the other end 'slid over' the RCA-not
into-like it should have IMO.

Bottom line: I couldn't hear hardly anything. I unplugged my antenna from it
and heard more from the adapter I just bought slid over the rca then before
with the antenna plugged into it.

Can some nice soul tell me exactly what to get from the Shack, maybe a cat#
would be great. Just looking at the RCA that was installed, it looks like (I've
never had an RCA jack) something physically goes 'into it.' Justice at
RadioLabs said how much better that jack would be, that I'd like to try it out,
but I went back to the tried and true 'sleeve' into the original exter.antenna
jack and everything was fine.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
