Explain "cordless" in reference to an AM antenna? There are AM antennas that are just a flat coil of wire that sits on top of an AM radio near the ferrite core antenna that is inside the case. Is that the type you mean? Also, rotating the radio will help. If you type AM antenna in to Google, there is tons of info, from passive AM antennas. to how to articles. BGnR

![]() SELECT-A-TENNA REGULAR MODEL $64.95 For a portable radio, the Select-A-Tenna is the best AM antenna for the money. The Select-A-Tenna is a highly sensitive AM radio antenna that requires no connection to your radio. It uses no batteries or external AC power source of any kind. The Select-A-Tenna can help the CCRadio plus and other AM radios in those “tough reception” summer months.

The Select-A-Tenna will reduce night time fade-out by approximately 90%. There is no installation or wiring. Tune your portable or clock radio to a weak AM station. Place the antenna near your radio and adjust the tuning knob. Constructed of durable dark ABS plastic built to last a lifetime. Frequency range 535kHz to 1700kHz. USA. Size: 10.8" dia. x 2.3" thick.
