    It didn't really improve my AM reception very much. That might not have been any fault of the product, but it just didn't help reception very much over the non-amplified antenna that I already have.

    Wrong antenna. The system of sending queries on availability of products to a central location rather than the actual store the query is for DOES NOT WORK! We will not try to determine whether or not a Best Buy has any given item available in store by phone ever again.
