    Buyer Beware. This antenna worked ok for most stations, but failed for 92.5 fm. It would cut in and out and was sensitive to my moving around the room. Plus, the two 75 ohm leads were really small and flimsy. Worse, when I took it back after 2 months, Best Buy refused to give me a refund. They said it's a 14 day return window. I got a pair of rabbit ears instead for half price from A** Hardware which work great!

    I tried using this antenna for my antique radios. I have a couple of tunable antennas that work well but tuning them is another step I was trying to eliminate. I thought this might work, but for my AM-only antique radios, it did nothing. I did not test FM performance.

    Too bad I can't give it 0 stars or I would, didn't do a thing but make my reception worse than it was, now the stations don't come in as good and I have static that I didn't have before! And yes it's hooked up correctly I triple checked it, it's just a piece of trash don't bother wasting your money on it, find something better which shouldn't be hard, a coat hanger works better than this!
