WRONG!

This radio is very sensitive already on the whip antenna. A peace of
15-30ft of wire just attached with an alligator clip surely will enhance
the perfornance, especially on the lower bands. Too much of wire will
overload the radio. At least there is an additional
preselector/bandpassfilter needed then.


The sensitivity is a separate issue. Yes, you may need to add a filter
depending on the radio type. But add that filter and I guarantee you that a
200 meter copper wire will outperfrom a 10 meter one.

Hello
I have this radio and was curious what other owners find to be the best
antenna to pair it with.
