Default AM/MW Antenna Tuner-Coupler for common AM/FM Radios and Tuners

Blitz,

AM/MW Antenna Tuner-Coupler for common AM/FM Radios
and AM/FM/Stereo Tuners

To 'couple' a simple LongWire Antenna to a so-called
HiFi Tuner {AM/FM Radio} :

* Use the simple {small} basic AM Loop Antenna that
comes with most modern AM/FM/Stereo/CD/Tape/Aux
Sound Systems and the many of AM/FM Radios.

* Then get a Select-A-Tenna Model 541-M and use
the 1/8" Mono-Jack on it as an Input for the LongWire
Antenna and Ground. The Select-A-Tenna becomes
the AM/MW Tuner-Coupler for the LongWire Antenna.

Place the Radio's basic AM Loop Antenna close to
the Select-A-Tenna and move it In-and-Out to vary
the Coupling between the two Loops.

TIP - The Select-A-Tenna can also be 'Positioned'
{Rotated} to : Peak a Weak Signal -or- Null-Out a
Strong {Interferring} Signal.

FWIW - The Terk AM Advantage 1000 Loop Antenna
and the RadioShack AM/MW Loop Antenna both have
1/8" Mono Input/Output Jacks and can do the same
basic job as a AM/MW Tuner-Coupler with most modern
AM/FM Radio's and AM/FM/Stereo Tuners.


hope this helps - iane ~ RHF
