Any help appreciated

CT,

Here is the Radio Netherlands 'review' of the Sangean ATS-505.
http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/ats505.html

The Shortwave "External Antenna" Jack appears to be a 1/8"
Mono-Jack.

* The Outer-Barrel is Ground

* The Tip-End is the Antenna.

Using a 1/8" Mono-Plug 'wire' the External Antenna to the
Tip-End of the Plug and the Ground Wire 'connection' to
the Outer-Barrel of the Plug.


NOTE: The exception to the general use of a 1/8" Mono-Jack
for an External Antenna Input is the Sangean ATS-909 which
uses a 1/8" STEREO Jack.
