Is the external aerial connection on the Sangean ATS505 also
have an earth connection? If so which pin on the plug is for
the earth?
Any help appreciated.


CT,

Here is the Radio Netherlands 'review' of the Sangean ATS-505.
http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/ats505.html

The Shortwave "External Antenna" Jack appears to be a 1/8"
Mono-Jack.

* The Outer-Barrel is Ground

* The Tip-End is the Antenna.

Using a 1/8" Mono-Plug 'wire' the External Antenna to the
Tip-End of the Plug and the Ground Wire 'connection' to
the Outer-Barrel of the Plug.


NOTE: The exception to the general use of a 1/8" Mono-Jack
for an External Antenna Input is the Sangean ATS-909 which
uses a 1/8" STEREO Jack.
