Good day all, is there any way of using an aerial on this radiogram, Philips F5G01A?
Many thanks Steve

This gram is capable of receiving AM (long wave and medium wave) and FM stations. It will have a single pin socket to connect an AM aerial, this can be a length of single wire. Six feet long will probable pull in local stations but a much longer wire will be needed for the weaker ones.

The VHF/FM aerial socket will have 2 pins. You could use a ribbon type indoor FM aerial connected to these pins.

If your gram is in good working order you are likely to have much better results on VHF/FM. The AM broadcast bands have very few stations on them now and are very susceptible to interference.
