Hallo,
ich habe solch einen schönen Koffer in meinem Besitz. Das Radio spielt wunderbar, einzig auf Kurzwelle scheint er nur spielen zu wollen, wenn an die in der Rückwand befindlichen Buchsen einige Meter Draht angeschlossen werden. Kann es sein, daß er keine eingebaute KW-Antenne hat und deshalb eine ext. Antenne braucht? Wenn ich mir das Schaltbild anschaue, scheint es genauso zu sein. Darin entdecke ich nur die Spulene für LW und MW. Ist meine Interpretation korrekt?
MfG
