||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pleasantly surprised by this antennae. I wasn't sure if it would work because the setup for my stereo system is in the basement. But is does work! I get more AM stations than expected and of course FM. The stations that I do get come in clear. Definitely prefer this to the wall antennae. Also, set up was very easy.

Antenna works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The antenna works. The signals are strong. Connect to stereo, Plug in and that's it. I wish the cords were a little longer though. Also, I expected more AM stations to come through. I will see if there is sntthing additional I need to do. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. Happy that Best Buy had it in the store for purchase!

Does not work on my unit
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use on the Sharp 5 disk player with am/fm radio (as the antenna that comes with the unit is useless) I even asked if it would plug into the Sharp unit and they said yes, but it does not so unless I can find a way to hook it's co ax cable (the little adapter for the co ax cable that comes with it is useless to my unit) to the unit I will have to take it back

Works pretty well. Decent value

Does what it is supposed to do.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does what it is supposed to do - amplify weak signals and improve upon the simple straight antenna that comes with most stereo receivers. The station I was trying to pull in (~40 miles away) had about 50% signal strength but now is at 100%. Unfortunately, not all the signal noise is filtered out and this can vary with atmospheric conditions. It does help to move any items which may add noise or interference away from the antenna leads ,and perhaps switch to mono if the noise is really bad. My 1990's vintage Yamaha receiver has speaker-wire type antenna inputs, and the adapter that comes with the antenna can be made to work using two short wire leads.

Better then nothing!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace a simple wire FM antenna. It's not much better, but after fiddling with it (and hooking up both the AM & FM antenna wires to my receiver's FM connector) I was able to receive the station I wanted with better results then the basic wire the receiver came with.

Incompetent
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never used it! With what I had bought before it would not have worked anyway. Returned about 2,500.00 dollars worth of audio equipment that would not fit my needs. Your designer did not listen to my need of what I wanted. He also did not know what he was selling. For a designer he should have known what he was selling and not assume it had what I wanted or needed.

Better than no antenna!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works fine, but I only get one or two stations… So could be better but better than nothing

Good Machine... Good Price . Would buy it again.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a difficult time trying to connect it, but I believe that was because our radio was an old model. I tried it the second way (which was helpful to have) and it's been working great ever since.

Getting VEEY GOOD reception!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this AM-FM antenna as an addition to an older Yamaha receiver that I truly wanted to listen to BOTH FM broadcasts of local Colorado Springs stations, AND AM broadcasts for sporting events...INDEED it works probably better than I had anticipated, and HAPPY it doesn't take a lot to hookup, although my older Yamaha receiver is adapted to this antenna's wiring accessories! LOVE IT!
