xb-200 and the MF band
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2017 7:25 am
Hello,
Some time ago I purchased a xb-200, which I finally got the time to install and test. The idea was to tune some AM broadcasts in the MF band to show our students. However, although I can see/listen to FM radios, at the MF band I see mostly nothing.
As an antenna, I first tried using a simple telescopic (the same I use for FM), but I've tried several other more "homebrew" solutions (such as making a long cable), to no avail.
Any ideas/suggestions? Maybe someone's used the xb-200 to successfully tune an AM radio?
best
