Review on Tecsun Indoor Active Radio Antenna by William Mathis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mainly works

This is a nice little receiving antenna. It's very portable, albeit thin. I connected it to the receive antenna port on my Icom IC-7610 transceiver (good thing the antenna comes with a BNC adapter). I couldn't hear the woofers because there aren't any. I didn't hear any HF stations either, probably due to the time of day and the condition of the ionosphere. He worked in the band AM (MF). He received weak stations without overloading on strong local stations. I found that it was possible to cancel out the local noise by rotating the loop, but it was difficult to keep the antenna pointing in the right direction. Zero is pretty sharp. The preselector setting function works but the setting is difficult in the SW. As far as noise goes, I have many sources of noise in my house, so it's hard to say as far as the antenna can reach, I'll have to try that with a portable HF household radio out of town. The IC-7610 is a direct access software defined radio with superior performance. It doesn't benefit from the pre-selector feature, but most SW consumer radios will. Icom receivers would work fairly well with a short antenna cable, so it had to catch any antenna errors. This antenna does not have a power adapter, just battery power, but it will work for most people. The IC-7610 is a direct access software defined radio with superior performance.
