Russ,

That's true, but I don't think that's a problem.  The radio seems to 
receive quite well on MW using the whip antenna.  I'd like to try an 
external antenna, but the radio uses a PAL connector and I'm not sure 
where to get one.  They're quite common in Europe, but rarely used 
here in the U.S.
