17USING THE EARPHONE JACK

The earphone jack can be used with stereo head- phones using a 1/8 inch (3.5 millimeter) plug. Sound is in stereo.

SHORTWAVE ANTENNAS. This radio can be used with basic, long wire antennas and other high impedance shortwave antennas (optimally 500 ohm). The length of a long-wire antenna should be anywhere from about 30-100 feet (10- 30 meters). Best performance is from copper wire. The antenna should be above ground, preferably running in a straight line. Non-conductive insulators should be used on both ends of the wire to prevent signal loss. The wire is plugged into the red colored spring socket, AM,SW ANT., on the back of the radio. Connecting a ground wire to the black spring socket, GND, often helps reception, but is not mandatory. The ground wire should be connected to a cold water pipe or a ground rod. If no water pipe or ground rod is available, connect a wire about the same length as the antenna wire and lay it on the ground. NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO A GAS PIPE.

AM ANTENNAS: Any high impedance (opti- mally 500 ohm) AM antenna can be used, includ- ing long-wires and tuned loops. A ground wire, as discussed under SHORTWAVE ANTENNAS, is even more helpful during AM reception and often improves reception considerably, even when no supplementary AM antenna is used.

FM ANTENNAS: Connect FM antennas to the FM ANT. CABLE FM socket on the back of the radio. These antennas should have an impedance of 75 ohms. Most antennas fed with coaxial cable are 75 ohm antennas. If your coaxial cable has a ‘F’ plug, like that used on North American TV’s and VCR’s, use a F to PAL converter plug to fit the European style PAL socket on the radio. (Radio Shack part number 278-265).
