Review on πŸ“‘ Ultimate Portable YouLoop Magnetic Antenna: HF & VHF Passive Magnetic Loop with Low Loss Broadband BALUN by John Brouillard

Revainrating 3 out of 5

We have no quality and no control (soldering required)

Nice antenna after I soldered the ground wires to the board in the "phase reflex" section but unusable without repair. And there are holes on the board just big enough for the braid to fit in, so there's no excuse for not getting it right. The balun section has been properly assembled, that's all. Good thing I gave in to the urge to open it up and see what it's like, otherwise I would have thought the magnetic loop wouldn't work in this application.

Pros
  • Feature: RF Response: 10kHz to 30MHz; VHF Response: up to 300MHz; direct sampling mode when you enable RTL AGC.
Cons
  • Slightly dented
