I was able to snap open the RS2 case, by pulling the rubber cover off the base, removing the single screw and carefully prying the case open. One open, the antenna connections were different from what I had seen pictured of the RS1. Armed with a coax antenna feed from my attic mounted FM antenna, I tuned to a station with poor reception and touched the coax center wire to the internal antenna and also to the ground connection of the headphone jack. To my surprise the better result was with the headphone jack. So I snapped the RS2 back together, stripped insulation off the end of the included "antenna" tinned the exposed wire and inserted into a Female-Female "F" adapter with the antenna feed on the other side. A couple of wraps of electrical tape and I was set.
Server is now back in the basement and reception is markedly improved. Not as good as my Denon receiver hooked to the same antenna feed, but certainly good enough. In summary, the RS2 may easily be used with a real external or outdoor antenna, and reception is improved dramatically.
