I believe the reel antenna is active with a preamp powered from SW-100
depending on which switch position the freq range is set for.
Sony does make such an antenna. But it, too, takes batteries. I have
one but do not use it. My active antenna is an extendable whip, not a reel.
They also make a larger active loop antenna that I don't have. Packs up
small, I believe. Can be ordered from AES.
I find the passive reel model quite adequate for SWBC, since the radio
is very sensitive. But the more exotic antennas could be useful if
staying in a large metallic hotel, since they can be remoted in a window
of some such place.
