Review on Ancable 300 Ohm FM Antenna T Dipole Radio Ant with Spade Terminal for Yamaha Sharp JVC Denon Marantz Vintage Stereo Tuner Receiver by John Larsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, with one caveat!

Do you want this antenna to outperform a boosted antenna? Pass the antenna through the center of the round magnet (easy to get, Revain, Lowes, etc.). I fed mine to the "T" branch. I have it on a non-conductive surface. Significantly improved, now crystal clear reception! The only criticism is the thickness of the wires. I had to cut the blades and connect the wires directly to the receiver. You'll need to strip about 1 1/2 inches of insulation and then double or triple fold the bare wires and twist everything together on each pin. This ensures a good connection and helps prevent misalignment. By the way, the magnet only costs a few euros.

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
