Converted to accept an external aerial, I cut the original aerial 'tube' down to accept a BNC socket, this was wired to the original aerial point on the PCB. The thread of the BNC socket was 3/8" UNF, so the cut down aerial tube was tapped out to match. Simple then to connect the external aerial to the radio using 75ohm aerial cable.. I was told that 75 ohm will work with 50 ohm devices but a 50 ohm cable will not work with 75 ohm devices :dunno:
The two black wires soldered to the PCB allow connection of an external 6vdc supply (I used a Sony Ericsson nicad phone charger 12 to 6 volt)to either charge the original midland nicad battery pack or simply power the radio. NB; its best to use the midland battery pack to allow the radio to maintain user settings. Where to wires are soldered is where the nicad pack connects to the PCB once the back is refitted.
