I explained why it might not be a good idea at the end of the thread 1977's just linked to.

The frequency range your casio can receive are split between being stuffed full of digital TV multiplexes, or are being sold off to providers of short range wireless services like mobile phones. Some of the latter is clear at the moment, but not for very long. Surveys are done before systems are first fired up and any intruding signals are likely to be noticed. Once running, interference complaints will get investigated with some priority because there is big money involved. There is a high risk of being on the receiving end of legal action by Ofcom.

It isn't worth the risk, just to avoid the need for a bit of coax. Stick to using the external antenna socket.

This is an open forum and can be read by all sorts of people.... even people involved in regulatory agencies.
