    I did not take the unit due to it needing to be plugged into electric socket, and I don't have any more to use. All I wanted was a normal plug-in unit to hang off the back of the radio.

    For FM, this did not work any better than the old Radio Shack "rabbit ears" which I was looking to replace. Previously I had no AM antenna so now iIcan at least get a few AM stations and I may keep it for that alone.

    This wasn't any more sensitive than the passive antenna I had previously. However, it's smaller size and convenient stand allowed it to fit on my bookshelf better.

    For being powered I thought this would have far more ability to pick up stations. It has nearly the same performance as a regular telescopic or wire antenna. Not really worth the price imo. If youre in a pinch for one this will do the job, just get it on sale or discount.
