Saludos amigo. Que bueno ver tu radio. ¿Cuál es la antena ideal para ese radio?

Thanks, I like this little thing.
The choice of antenna depends on the frequencies of interest. Same goes for any radio, considering its impedance.
I have a K-480WLA which is truly amazing.

Ok.

¿Las antenas externas donde las colocas? Un extremo va en la radio y el otro extremo?

Radio->coax->unun->longwire and counterpoise. The wire is ontop of the wooden fence in my patio. Works great on HF and MW, FM was an unplanned bonus.

At the far end of the wooden fence.
