Greetings, all--

I just purchased the very last in-store stock of the 15-1853 here in
the DC area ($10 clearance) -- unfortunately, it was the store's old
floor display model, which was missing its box, the manual, and the
wire to run to the external AM and ground connections on the back of
my new GE SRIII.

Since the 15-1853 has long since been discontinued, the Radio Shack
website no longer posts the online version of its owner's manual,
which I'm trying to track down (I need it for schematics and/or tips
on the optimal cable I'll need to run from the loop to the radio, plus
it's just my personal habit to always have owner's manuals around
'just in case'). I also tried the 'Wayback Machine' at archive.org to
see if I could access the manual from earlier versions of the Radio
Shack website, but no dice...

If anyone happens to have a copy of the 15-1853's online owner's
manual on hand, I'd certainly be most appreciative to receive a copy
via e-mail.

Many thanks!

Just put it next to the SRIII at one end, with its axis aligned with
the long dimension of the SRIII. Tune for max noise at each frequency.

Put both radio and loop on a lazy susan, if you want more variation.

You won't notice much change at night, but there's a good deal in
the daytime.

Actually the loop works better (improves more) with a smaller radio;
the SRIII is already pretty good.

The loop is an impedance matcher. Once the radio is hearing propagating
noise (which the SRIII almost does on its own) further improvements
don't do you any good, since they would only enhance both signal
and noise. But until that, you're beating out internal receiver
noise by raising both external noise and external signal.

At night, you're hearing a thousand signals on every frequency,
so sensitivity isn't really the problem; and thus the loop doesn't
seem to be helping much at night. It's hard to tell it's even there.

http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/DocumentResults.asp?sku_id=15-1853&Name=Manuals%20for%2015-1853&Reuse=N

Shows owner's manual in English and Spanish, plus other doc
and a parts list.

When in doubt, just put the catalog number in the search box.
This one went direct to the support docs due, I guess, to the product
itself being out of production.

On the RS website, their search engine seems to differentiate between
catalog numbers WITH a hyphen (15-351), and those without (15351).
This is different than many other search engines, where looking up one
will find both versions.

I would suggest entering it both ways to do a complete search of the
RS archives.

Happy trails,
