You're right -- I don't think they have a "short" extension, but they do
have stereo miniplug headphone cord extensions, which would work fine if you
shortened it up a bit.

However, I agree with Frank that you could easily make one (probably much
cheaper, too) from parts available at RS.

Yes I know there is a yahoo group for them before someone provides the

link.
;-) I plug and unplug my external antenna quite often (as should

everyone.) My
question and worry is that over a period of time it will do damage to

the
entrance of the radio.

Is there an adapter at Rat Shack that I can plug my external antenna

into.
Follow me? One that I can just leave plugged into all the time, then

plug
'into' when I'm ready to listen?

Hope this makes sense. ;-)


Are you thinking of making a short extension and plugging and unplugging
the antenna into the extension to save wear on the radio's antenna jack?
Sounds like a good idea to me. I don't think Radio Shack sells such an
extension, but they probably still sell suitable connectors, so you can
make your own.
