Works with PAL radio if you want and can make changes

I bought this in the hope that it would work as a replacement antenna for my Tivoli PAL radio. I managed to get it working with a little tweaking. My observations are: 1) it's not the same size as the PAL antenna - the brass plate at the base of the new antenna is narrower than the original PAL, so it's too loose in the mount; To fix this, I used pliers to gently squeeze the antenna mount on the radio to get the new antenna blade to fit better. And 2) the hole in the sheet of the new antenna (through which the screw goes) is smaller. I drilled it a bit so I could get the screw through. In general, everything worked out for me, but the new antenna is thinner than the original one and a little shorter.

Pros
  • Includes: 2 telescopic antennas
Cons
  • Big and bulky
