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.

Frank, isn't that just an 1/8" stereo jack (so-called "Sony Plug & Jack")?


That's one of the most common "extension cords" around.
