Review on Sangean ANT 100 External Antenna by Andy Edwards

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DO NOT DO THAT! on antennas

I currently have TWO Sangean CL-100 Desktop Weather Alerts with AM/FM RBDS Radio Alert. I live in Houston and the weather is going to be pretty bad. However, I'm about 30 miles from the NOAA radio station in Galveston, and the ground is pretty flat. The signal received was a little weak without an antenna, so I bought THREE of these. The second time I plugged it in I had absolutely NO SIGNAL. I then connected it to my second radio and again NO SIGNAL. I tried all three antennas on both radios and again NO SIGNAL. Placement didn't matter as I took them to the top floor, different rooms, outside and regardless of the orientation of the radios with those supposed "antennas" there is NO SIGNAL. In my opinion, these antennas are literally useless. If I could give this antenna a negative star rating, I would. DO NOT waste your money with this stick-on cable. In fact, stop watching them in full. THEY DON'T WORK - AND REMEMBER I TESTED THREE OF THEM ON TWO DIFFERENT RADIOS.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
