I bought a real nice AM/FM/MPX radio from Standard Radio Corp(dont know the mfg year). Its has a real wood case, real metel knobs.
It has an internal ferrite bar for AM, and picks up FM nicly without an antenna.
My question, Ive uploaded some pics to show that is has two FM ant terminals, as if it for a Dipole? What would I have to do to use a Yagi? or some type of other antenna?
Having some wire just thrown about looks kinda tacky for the FM dipole, I like my wires hidden, but its not a must.
The AM ant, I have used a Longwire, because a external loop seems to have no affect on this radio, Ive tryed 3 different Tuned Loops, and one Broadband Loop, I know the terminals are connected, other wise the longwire wouldnt work, and I know ground is working, Ive tested in with a Multimeter.
Point/Question Is What would be the best antenna to use for FM and AM on a older radio like this?
This should be a easy thing for me, but its got me scratching my head.
Thank you.
