Vs: [HCDX] Schematic for Grundig YB 400

["Jarmo Patala" <jp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am using my YB with Wellbrook ALA1530 active loop antenna,  but an antenna tuner is a must with this receiver (on MW and tropical bands.) I have Yeasu FRT-7700 and it keeps overloading away.

With this combination I can log almost all same stations than with my NRD-535. That I mean a miracle as YB costs only 1/10 of the price of NRD. On the shortwaves the radio is extremely sensitive,  dx stations from Africa and Asia can be heard even on it's own whip antenna.

I have used an inductive connection for AM external antenna,  a ferrite antenna from old radio. But love to get a schematics to have direct antenna input,  few rounds of wire on the YB's own ferrite. Has anybody experienced with that?
