Hi Steve,

I am just about to order my E1.  I was talking with Universal Radio about 
them the other day and I thought the guy told me they have those Pal 
connectors.  He also recommended the C Crane Twin Coil Loop for use on the 
medium wave frequencies but that is a $100 antenna and I want to see how the 
E1 performs on medium wave first before I lay out additional bucks.

I'll let you all know what I find out.  For now, take care all and very 73.
