Sangean HDR 1 HD -FM Antenna Question

I'm getting the Sangean HDR 1 HD soon, I was wondering since I see in photos that is only has a telescope rod FM antenna, does it also have an external connection for FM antenna ?
 
It's a screw-on dipole antenna. The external connection is there (as like the Radiosophy HD100). Look at the pictures on Amazon to be sure.

Yes - the radio appears to be a cousin to their component tuner, which easily does 300 mile reception over flat terrain on full class C stations using a 10 element yagi antenna. HD reception will not be nearly that good, although I have gotten occasional lock on Dallas HD stations from Houston.
 
Are you saying the Sangean HDR 1 HD has the external FM Antenna connection ?

Yes - it has the external FM antenna connection. All you do is take the whip antenna off, exposing the connector.
 
Oh I see...thanks for the info.
