Review on πŸ“» ANTOP AM/FM Antenna: Amplified Indoor Radio Antenna with 50-Mile Range, Adapter Connector, and 6ft Coaxial Cable by Justin Frazier

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not useless. but pretty close.

I live in an area where my cars have poor FM radio reception. I broke an old mothball stereo (amp/preamp/tuner/turntable) and decided that a boosted antenna was needed to pick up radio stations. I connected the Antop antenna to the tuner and could only receive two stations. Both were really prickly. They too were not clear enough to listen. The clarity changed every time I turned on the stereo or moved the Antop's antenna. However, it was never clear enough to actually hear FM stations. I just thought my tuner was outdated and my location too bad to listen to FM radio. Let's fast forward a few weeks. I found an old wire dipole antenna in my stash of old stereo stuff. For fun I hooked it up to my tuner and it was placed in the same spot as the Antop antenna. Surprisingly, the two stations that sounded shaky on Antop's antenna were now crystal clear and showing a strong signal. Also, I can find a few other stations to listen to, but that's not my music. I don't want to call Antop Antenna rubbish. However, this was done using a wired dipole antenna.

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
