Hi everyone, I'm just getting into this hobby. I have an older Grundig 865 radio that I have had some luck with outside. The factory telescopic Arial is a little beat up, but I put a length of wire on it with an alligator clip and strung it outside. I got a few solid signals. I was hooked.
However, I'd really like to set up that radio downstairs on my work bench. I've found that I get nothing down there. I've tried clipping my wire on and running it outside, but I still don't get anything. I have a ton of questions:
1) Found interference from all the electronic devices in the house be interfering with the signals despite the antenna wire going outside?
2) if I plug in an external antenna to this hole on the back, does it cancel out the telescopic one?
Thanks for your help guys!
