@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 ๐

@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 ๐
