The Tecsun AN-200 tuned loop's output socket was connected to the Sony ICF-SW7600GR portable radio's antenna socket by using a stereo audio cable. Peter Blackpool UK |

Hi Peter
Can you please explain to the uneducated (me😊) why the stereo cable link? |

The output socket on the AN-200 (& AN-100) is a stereo socket, but the ring is not used, just the tip and screen are used. A mono cable would give poorer performance.

Lol. I looked at the link and saw that you said "4945 km" and I thought, buddy, Delaware is NOT ~5000 km from Montreal. And it's not - because you are not Peter, the MW DXer from Delaware, but Peter, the MW DXer from Blackpool! :-D When I as a kid growing up in Montreal, CJMS was the 1280 signal and was the big French-language news/full service station and CFMB was on (I think) 1410 at much lower power. EXCELLENT catch!! Peter the MW DXer from Norman, Oklahoma -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! |

Sorry to be a pain here Peter, but is there a reason why the output socket is stereo if only ring and sleeve are used please? I'm having difficulty getting my head around this apparently simple thing today.Â
