Review on πŸ“Ά Boost the Reception: AUTUT Car Radio Antenna Booster Signal Amplifier for Enhanced AM FM Radio Stations by Michael Godo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Seems to do the job.

I bought this amplifier to improve the radio reception of this radio head unit with Carplay. The radio appears to have some audio issues causing background noise to be distracting depending on bass/treble settings and volume (best in neutral mode) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LHDDY3Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00? dh=UTF8&psc=1 Ironically, this amp has received very poor reviews, but I have found it to be the only amp that has RF specs that claim 25dB gain with a 7dB noise figure. In general, NF 7dB is not very good, but who knows how bad this radio is. In any case, this also seems to have not only improved the HF reception where I get a lot more channels, but also the background. noise too. Turning the volume up to "loud" seems to overflow my speakers, which doesn't help this amp. If there are too many details, it's because I'm an EE/RF engineer. The thing seems to work and for the price you can't beat it.

Pros
  • MATERIAL
Cons
