Re: [HCDX] external antenna on Sony ICF-SW7600GR

In the user guide is mentioned that you only can use Sony external antenna's;
is it possible to connect long wire or a loop antenna to this connector .
If so what type of jack do they use ( the same as for the ICF-SW77 ?)
On my by now pretty old 7600 I have a special Sony external antenna --
which is nothing but a thin copper wire of some 7 meters of length. It has
a smart little clip in the end, which anyone could add themselves.
Anyhow, with a proper connector (in the older 7600 a mini phono) you should
be able to add just about any kind of wire you wish. Wouldn't affect the
receiver, except is you add to much wire, when the receiver would start to
overload due to getting too much signal.
A loop might work, haven't thought about that. Other ways of using loops on
portable receiver is to put the receiver "inside" the loop and get the
signals across by inductive coupling -- more on this at the Antenna section
on the HCDX web site.
