AM TUNING & LISTENING TIPS Most portable radios including the CCRadio have an internal AM anten- na. Best performance is achieved when the radio is swiveled on its base for maximum signal pickup from the transmitting tower. This same tech- nique can be used to help nullify unwanted signals or radio noise. Experimentation is the best way to see how it works for you. Top View CCRadio The CCRadio has two external antenna terminals for AM. If your recep- tion is better outside, for a quick and easy
