The Drake SSR1, which is very similar, circuit-wise, is normally fitted with a telescopic whip.
Using this, or a fairly short length of wire on the ordinary aerial terminals, it is quite lively.

I remember going to the radio store, clutching my hard-earned cash in hand, to buy a FRG-7, but they were out of stock, & I got pointed at the Drake instead, otherwise I could have been more helpful.
