in that case, I would rather have no antenna than a bad one !


thanks for the lesson !

No, it doesn't make sense. If the radio is in portable form, I believe it
should have an internal ferrite antenna. My guess is that the designers
didn't want to go through the effort to provide the required shielding in
order to make this possible.
I have built several MW receivers and I know that you really need to
shield and decouple the control circuitry in order to not have harmonics
of the clock, broadband noise, etc from being picked up by the loopstick
antenna. You need to have worst case radiation of less than .2uV to make
the receiver usable. I've been there, done that.

I never went to any kind of radio school,so I dont know.How about this
"logic"? World turning back on American brands.Article is at
www.worldnetdaily.com If that radio was an American brand name
radio,would it sell elsewhere around the World?
