Worthless
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this would be the end all to my radio troubles at work but it wasn’t. The input jacks installed on device did not work with our receiver, (just static) the electric plug for the cords were too short and when I stripped the wires and attached to receiver, it was not a clear signal, but all fuzz. Wire too short to move antenna. Wondering what I am going to do with it. We are in the city, so do not know why the interference except maybe the Sirius system we have but I absolutely hate that satellite radio plays the same 10 songs all day long.

Great Amplified Antenna
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this antenna for my Yamaha stereo receiver to enhance radio signal reception since I live in an area where there isn't great signal. Yes, even here in Atlanta, GA, USA there some locations like that. This antenna works okay on FM but is still weak on AM, but it works for my purposes. It comes with all the cables you need to connect it to your stereo in various configurations and a 120V power adaptor to plug it into house power. It also has an aesthetically pleasing design, so it doesn't detract from home decor. On the downside, the cables are a little short so there is limit on how far away from your stereo you can place it, and it needs to be near as possible to a window. Overall, at Best Buy's price point, it is a good cost-effective option if you need a boost in radio signal reception.

Antenna that gives you a better sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The AM/FM Amplified Indoor Radio Antenna works very well inside my house which allows me to pull in hard to pick up stations. The Antenna can be adjusted in different directions which makes bring harder signals easier, I recommend this antenna for any receiver where you would like to improve the quality of hard to get signal.

Stereo antenna
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this on a whim, on open box display, to replace the highly acclaimed radio antenna I initially bought for older sony stereo. Surprisingly, it exceeded my expectations. Excellent signal, little to no static (opposed to other one)!

Finally......FM!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always stayed away from electronic "boosters, antennas and the like after finding I spec good money in a pc of junk years ago. I do say the varied satisfaction levels here. I believe, as far as this item is concerned, it's physical location and the location of the unit needing amplification are very big factors, as well as where in the country you are. I have 1970s Sansui 7070DB and have not listened to FM since moving into the house I am in about three years ago. I could only about 6-7 signals, poor at that. After hooking up the BE-ANT20FM, I now have a HUGE choice. I am very satisfied. Certainly worth the money. The only concern.....how long will it work? Crap shoot, I guess.

Nice Not To Have Rabbit Ears Sticking Up Any More
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works nicely, but I had to add a coupler and an extension cable to the FM cable to get it long enough to set it close enough to the window to get rid of the static. The AM is not connected because I don't listen to AM anyway. It's easy to hide behind a lamp and it's nice not to have rabbit ears sticking up in the air any more.

May end up returning it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am confused about this product. I plug in am and fm connections, it works great. But when i plug in power supply it doesnt work. Unless i hold it up in the air. I dont know if it is the location yet or if its defective. Will get a longer coaxial cable and extend it. But then the am cables wont reach.
