    Honestly overpriced.. works perfectly when its within 4 feet of a window, with the cables were longer. It doesn’t need to be plugged in to work, so if you get it theres no need to plug it in.

    No static, but cuts out?

    Normal stations cut out. I really expected more from this seeing as it has external power. But all my stations will just cut out for seconds at a time.
