Telamon,
I have tried building and using a larger Un-Tuned Loop Antenna with the Cambridge SoundWorks # 740 Radio several times with out any sucess. ORIGINAL AM/MW LOOP ANTENNA : Eight Turns (8T) of Wire on a 4 5/8 Inch Square Form with a 51 Inch Twisted Pair of Wires to the AM/MW Antenna Input Jack. - - - Should be about 17.3 uH AM/MW Loop Antenna Calculator : http://www.mindspring.com/~loop_ante...loop_calc4.htm This original (OEM) Loop Antenna worked barely OK with the Radio for local AM/MW Radios Stations only. LARGER AM?MW LOOP ANTENNA : Four Turns (4T) of Wire on a 14 Inch Square Form with a 15 Feet Twisted Pair of Wires to the AM/MW Antenna Input Jack. - - - Should be about 17.5 uH This Larger AM/MW Loop Antenna did not work at all. Tried a 51 Inch Twist Pair feed-in-line and a 72 Inch Coax Cable feed-in-line with this Larger Loop Antenna with worse results then the original Loop Antenna. -IF- In fact the Radio is Tuning the Loop then this Larger AM/MW Loop Antenna should have worked at 17.5 uH with the Radio's internal circuitry. It Did Not. still insearch of . . . ~ RHF |
