Review on πŸ“‘ Enhance Your Radio Reception with Kaito T-1 Radio Antenna by Justin Rashid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Mainly ideal for accessories and consumables

Very simple design, but still. still a problem. I bought 3 of these for my sister and myself. She wants to start listening to shortwave. I've been a radio amateur for over 30 years. I had one like this from Realistic/Radio Shack a long time ago. There are other companies using the same design. But this one is VERY hard to rewind. The plastic feels more pliable compared to my old Radio Shack (if that makes sense). I'm hoping the plastic will "break" after a few rewind cycles. In addition, a small "handle" is cast. nope Nothing. In my old Radio Shack I found a plastic latch = swivel like you would use on a keychain. Unlike chrome plated plastic antennas will not affect the antenna. Then I strap myself into the hotel window blinds or something. They come with a good adapter for attaching a telescopic radio antenna. If you don't have an antenna connection. Conclusion: It works! It's a pain to rewind. Hope it breaks down over time. Add a plastic clip. And it has a good antenna adapter. 73
