For years without need for an external antenna I’ve been running a 1978 Zenith R472 solid state clock radio… the circle of sound is just just soooo good and I have not, WILL NOT give up on my analog audio media formats. When I moved in with my fiancée to her arguably better built apartment in a town with arguably terrible FM signal transmission I had no choice but to get a powered high gain antenna for the Zenith. I could only get remotely clear signals on 3-4 stations that I didn’t like in the apartment! No more. This products works as advertised! Now I can listen to my favorite stations blasting through the crystal clear classic Zenith Circle of Sound just like before. Easy to set up and works wonderfully.

If you are like me and still like listening to local radio this is ths product you need. I plugged this into my old stereo and the stations blast in now. Thank you

Easy to set up, nice looking, and unobtrusive. Draws in many FM signals that we were unable to receive before installing this product.

Our stereo predates the internet by a couple decades. That's ok. I prefer expansive analog recordings to compressed digital media. But I really need good FM reception to listen to anything recorded since I quit buying records 30 years ago. Streaming digital media just isn't a viable option. We recently moved. At the new house, I couldn't pull in a single AM or FM signal clear enough to listen to without wincing. The long wire dipole antenna that worked fine everywhere else was worthless. The reception was so bad, I suspected the movers had damaged the tuner. I bought this antenna with low expectations. Pleasant surprise-- crystal clear reception of all local FM stations was immediately restored. The signal is clear whether the antenna amplifier is plugged in or not, although the amplifier in does boost the signal strength of weaker stations with no appreciable adverse effects. I didn't even bother with trying to find the best antenna placement. I just attached the leads to the receiver and tossed it inside the cabinet that houses the receiver. It didn't do much to improve AM reception and it didn't pull in distant FM stations. But it really cleaned up local FM broadcasts. That's all I needed and far more than I expected. I'd recommend this without hesitation to a friend living in an urban/ suburban area.

In my bedroom I had installed a ONKYO AM/FM CD Stereo & Receiver to my tv, so that I would have the speakers added to my tv. I am a senior with a hearing problem. It was a big improvement in sound for my tv, but I had bad reception for the FM Stereo, I couldn’t get many stations that I wanted, and some would be weak. I didn’t want to keep moving around the stereo system to find a better signal. The unit was placed exactly were I needed it to be. I always buy my electronics from Best Buy, and went on the internet to look for a better antenna for my stereo system. I lucked out that Best Buy had the amplified AM/FM Insignia in stock. It was inexpensive and I thought that it should be better then the one connecting to my stereo now. I just took it out of the box, read directions and installed it. I couldn’t believe the difference it made. I could now receive ALL the stereo channels that I wanted, and what surprised me the most was that I also got a better reception for my speakers on the tv. With my hearing problem, I had the tv on captions, but with the Insignia Antenna on my stereo receiver I could hear everything much clearer now. For an inexpensive antenna, I was able to get All my FM channels And better reception for my speakers hooked up to my tv.
