I just noticed something on eBay.\u00a0 Seller “playloudfm<\/a>” based in Greece (100% feedback rating), the first to offer the high gain external ferrite antenna for the Tecsun PL-360\/PL-365\/County Comm GP5<\/a>, has a new offering<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the seller’s listing:<\/p>\n

– Frequency: 530Khz – 1710Khz
\n– Tunable
\n– Passive, No external power or battery needed
\n– Wireless connection to AM Radios
\n– Plus a low impedance output 3.5mm mono plug for 50 ohm scanners
\n– Improves Sensitivity and Performance of your AM Radio Receiver for AM Band Dxing!
\n– Very small and lightweight, perfect for traveling antenna<\/p>\n

This AM antenna can be used in two different ways
\n1) you can simply attach it near your AM radio internal ferrite antenna – wireless connection
\n2) use a 3.5mm cable to get a low impedance output for use with 50 ohm scanners<\/p>\n

Use tuning knob to get the maximum signal<\/p>\n

\"RFA200\"<\/a><\/p>\n
