I have a portable stereo that I use at work (Panasonic DS20 if
it makes a difference) and I want to improve the FM reception
(the AM is hopelessly hashed from the EM leakage from my
monitor).  It has a standard factory telescoping whip antenna,
and I've made the rounds of the local stereo stores asking for
some way of connecting an aftermarket antenna to the whip
antenna mounting (it's removable).  No one has a clue how to
do this.  My question is, how is the mounting for a whip
antenna different than the standard antenna connector on any
stereo receiver?  Is there any way to bridge the current
antenna mount without opening up the stereo to bypass the
antenna circuit?
