Review on πŸ“» Sangean ANT-60 Shortwave Radio Antenna: Enhance Your Reception with Superior SEO by Mike Fedd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Handy coil of wire to improve shortwave reception

I was looking through the FAQ and saw the line "Does this work with this or that radio?". Assuming you already own the radio in question, you obviously don't know enough about it to ask such a question. You can do the same as this device by connecting a 23 foot cable to the alligator clip and attaching it to the whip antenna. That's it*. It *CAN* improve FM reception, but that's not its purpose. If your radio does not have shortwave, do not buy this device. This probably won't do anything for AM reception. If you're looking to improve AM reception then you might want to look at something like the Kaito AN-200. If your radio has an external aerial connection, you can also connect it to this. How well does it work on your shortwave radio? depends on the. Take 20+ feet of wire and attach it to a whip antenna to test before you buy. It's all 20+ feet of wire in a plastic spool with a couple of well-wrapped connectors. That doesn't change anything about what Sangean did. It has always done something positive for SW on every 'portable' radio I've had. Take it? This includes several radios from Grundigs and C Crane as well as a Tecsun PL310et. It pairs well with 23 foot wire and the spool allows this wire to be collected in a convenient storage package when not in use. How well this works depends on your particular radio, but it will improve SHORT WAVE reception if you only use a whip antenna. If you don't know what shortwave is, do a little research. This should answer the "does it work with this" question. Please don't ask me because I won't answer. Now you know exactly what it is and how to check if this product is right for you.
