Magnus I finally get to help you after several years. Any antenna will do. But it must draw a certain amount of current. I use a 430 ohm 1/2 watt resistor to insure that the 700 knows it has an antenna. There is a antenna simulator in the manual. By the way I feed that and numbers of other loran C rcvrs from a home brew active splitter so I have to have the resistor on that feed. The 700 has a great deal of sensitivity so it offers lots of flexibility. If you have the $ buy a new one. But pretty sure you can't buy them anymore from SRS. Regards Paul WB8TSL
