    Well I tried to hook it up but you don't have to hookups that I need for it so I don't really know if it's working or not I have an old fashioned radio that you have to use the water to plug it in there but you have a cable like a TV and know adapter for the radio have amplifier and it has snap ons I can have for the a.m. piece that you sent with it that's it so I have to find one to adapt TB cable to radio not very happy about that shows up on the site you have it on there but you don't have it when you delivered it

      "Thanks for your feedback, user459818. I'm sorry to hear the Best Buy essentials™ AM/FM Amplified Indoor Radio Antenna didn't include the necessary connectors for your older radio. It's frustrating when a product doesn't have the required parts for your specific setup. I understand you'll need to find an adapter to make it work. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact our Best Buy essentials customer support team (1-866-597-8427). - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    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?

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.
