C.Crane radio antenna problem

Nov 14, 2020 1 Replies

Hi,



I have a C.Crane Witness + Radio. It has a tivo-like function and can record broadcasts to mp3 files on an SD card.



The antenna fits into the headphone jack and is about 2 ft long. The reception is not great. How can I make the reception better with a longer antenna?



Can I just cut the end off of the antenna and splice a copper wire on it, or does it have to be some special 'antenna' wire?



I bought some antennas with 3.5 plugs on them but they didn't work well. The C.Crane antenna wire has a 'half-plug' on it so it doesn't cut out the speakers when inserted.



Thanks,


itchy


It's just ordinary copper wire.

longer won't necessarilty make it better

if the transmitter is bad the audio will be bad.

Jasen.
