@PatrickPierre73 Thank you. I agree this radio, which employs the TEF6686 DSP chip, is a game-changer for MW reception. Thanks for the tip on extending the telescopic whip while using the YouLoop externally; I'll give this a try. The preamp only works in SW mode and not on MW, unfortunately 😊

@lou_bee_lou_72 Happy new year Louise 😊

@riprap1 I've mainly used mine outdoors with the internal ferrite; however, it does respond well to an external (long-wire) antenna on MW when used in the shack. It's an absolute powerhouse on the FM broadcast band 👊

@lou_bee_lou_72 Merry Christmas, Louise. x
