Back to tinkering with the 40-180, and was wondering what the purpose of the antenna attached to the top of the cabinet is used for?
Is it necessary to have this hooked up to have it play properly?
This radio has been recapped and it does work and receive stations on all bands, but at a low volume.
Could this be caused be having this antenna disconnected?
Possible problem with the loop? Loop seems to be working ok.
Idea's?
