While waiting for my caps to arrive, I have been looking into the FM antenna situation on my radio. I have the "line cord antenna" which connects to pin 2 of the little plug on the chassis back. I have seen pictures of these radios with a very different FM antenna setup, a wire running in a single loop around the very back of the cabinet, but attached to the same pin 2. Having read Philco's instruction sheet for the radio, I see they say it should NOT be externally grounded. Looking at the schematic, I was thinking that using the present "line cord antenna" as a virtual ground, attached to pin 1 of the little plug, and a single loop antenna attached to pin 2 might give good results. Attached are the relevant schematics. Any thoughts ?
