I received the Eton E1 as a gift. After reviewing the pros/cons/quality
issues, I decided to keep it. I saw the C.Crane Twin Coil reviewed as a great AM antenna for the E1 so I bought it. Now I have to connect the antenna to the PAL connector of the E1. I contacted C.Crane and they told me I needed a PAL to RCA adapter. These seem to be hard or impossible to fine online. Does anyone in this group know of a source for them ?? If not, maybe someone here can tell me if this will work. The C.Crane antenna uses a RCA jack to connect to the radio antenna connector so... will the following work (PAL to F adapter) + (F to RCA adapter). These I can find online. For what it's worth, I know nothing about shortwave radio, The E1 is my first shortwave radio and I am just beginning to learn about the hobby. |

Lower Mainland, British Columbia, Canada White Rock to be exact, which is just across the border from Blaine WA Late night, using the whip on the E1 I was suprised to be able to pick up AM stations in Reno NV, San Francisco, I even picked up one from Calgary Alberta. I am having a problem though from about 1000 kHz to 3000 kHz. Anything I can receive in that range has another station I can hear at the same time. Always the same station. I can hear it by itself, very loud and clear at 1600 kHz so I assume that this is its assigned frequency. It is Islamic music or chanting, religious I think. It is most annoying. I seem to be able to pick up quite a few stations in this range but always they overlaid with the one at 1600 kHz, loud enough make pretty much everything in this range unlistenable. I havent tried in the daytime yet to see if the problem is the same. Hopefully the C.Crane AM antenna I just got will be able to help, I have to wait till I get the PAL to RCA adapter though so I researched AM antennas and settled on the C.Crane I am looking at shortwave antenna now. thanks For Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL) you may want to use an External Shortwave Antenna : To make that 'connection' to a SWL Antenna with a Coax Cable using a PL-259 Plug.

BTW, "PAL" is what they call that connector in North America. I think they call it a Belling-Lee (or something like that) where they really use it in the rest of the world.

Secure with Black Plastic Electrical Tape and secure the Tape with a Black Plastic Wire Tie. 3 - Both Ends the the Hook-Up Wire connected to an RCA Jack. 4 - Slide the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler over the Whip Antenna. 5 - Connect the RCA Plug {Output} of the C.Crane AM/MW Twin Coil Ferrite Rod Antenna to the RCA Jack. Turn-On the Radio and Antenna and Enjoy Listening ![]() That Something Extra : Add and SO-239 to RCA Plug Adapter to your Radio Shack Parts : Use this Adapter to connect your Outside Wire Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL) Antenna to the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler. Place the Over-the-Whip Antenna Coupler over any 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio's Whip Antenna and Enjoy. it ain't perfect -but- it works ~ RHF {pomkia} |
