It serves as the primary antenna winding for the "police" band (1.5 to 4 mc). There is a coil inside the antenna coil form which is the BC band primary. When the radio is switched to band 2 (police), this coil is shorted out, leaving only the 4-turn coil in the primary.
If you do not replace the 4-turn winding, when you switch to "police" band you will be shorting the antenna direct to ground and will then have no reception on band 2.
