Review on Bingfu Transceiver Transmitter Compatible RadioShack by Brad Atl

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Disappointing performance with scanner

I bought this antenna for traveling. I hooked it up to a base scanner to check. I pressed the WX button to get the baseline reception. He didn't hear any of the weather channels. I turned the factory telescopic antenna back on and listened to 3 different weather channels in the greater Boston area. It works well enough to hear my local public safety frequencies, but I don't use it further than a few miles.
