Best
When
Installed
Outdoors
.
Be sure to follow
All
the instructions that come with your crystal radio, such as make sure you run a ground wire or the radio will not work, also make sure you have the proper headphones-earphone a crystal radio takes special ones ordinary ones will not hear the faint audio that a crystal radio produces.
Will also work as an AM Radio Antenna 540-1700kHz
When
Installed
Outdoors
.
For radios with a proper External AM Antenna connection. There
MUST
be a connection on the radio marked AM Ant (Antenna)
(*Note* a telescopic antenna on any radio is not for the AM Broadcast Band)
Will not work for the GE Superadio Series which already have an awesome built in ferrite rod antenna that is hard to beat. *Also* won't work for the CC Radio Original First Edition due to that edition's design flaw.
But
Will work for the CC Radio Plus Editions
. 1. Mount the antenna outdoors. 2. Either connect the alligator clip from the lead in wire to the radios AM antenna screw such as on the CC Radio Plus Series or cut off the alligator clip and strip 1/4 inch or less plastic off the lead in wire and connect it to the radios screw. Or if the radio has a spring clip connection such as is on a Grundig S350, Eton S350, Tecson BCL 2000 & Tecson BCL 3000 then cut off the alligator clip and strip 1/4 inch of the plastic away from the lead in wire and connect it to the Ant Clip on the radio. Then run a separate wire from the radios ground connection to either a ground rod or a cold water pipe. *Grounding is not always needed but
usually
makes a good improvement*
*If you are inside where reception is poor such as a metal - aluminum type building like I am with my DX 394 then this antenna when installed outdoors will improve your AM reception.*
