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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little boost!

I like to occasionally listen to my small portable radio while tinkering around in the garage, but have never been able to get stable AM/FM reception here in the country (30 minutes from the coast) - "interrupted" describes the am experience the best - so I'm excited about this little antenna. I did what a person in the Q&A section of this site suggested and hung the antenna horizontally outside just below the gutters. I have hanging plants, so I threaded a zip tie through the hoop on the body to hang it on a hook on the other side of the wall, then just slipped an extended wire into each hook on the way back to the garage. Those 23 feet came in very handy. Now my reception no longer goes into noise without warning - great! A couple of minor things - the adapter was all crumpled up at the bottom of the box - I thought at first it wasn't included. guidance would be helpful. Maybe the company expects everyone who buys this to be radio savvy, but I'm not. I figured it all out thanks to the comments posted on Revain. PS: I had no problem rewinding the antenna into the case when testing this feature. Maybe they corrected the design as some reviewers reported problems? Anyway, he returned quickly and smoothly.

If the radio has poor filters, it will also bring in more local ...
