signals even without connecting the supplied whip antenna because the
earphone cord serves as an antenna.

MEMO
• Any commercially-available earphones can work as antenna to receive
signals. (Both stereo and monaural antennae can be used.)
• When the earphone antenna is used, the received signals may be un-
stable depending on the condition of the earphone cord.
• Like the earphone antenna of a miniature transistor radio, this ear-
phone antenna is not tuned to particular frequencies. As a result, it
may properly receive only strong signals such as those of FM broad-
casts or those sent from nearby sources.
