Review on 📡 High-Gain K-180WLA Active Loop Broadband Receiving Antenna: Extended Frequency Range 100kHz-180MHz, Enhancing SDR Radio Performance - Small Loop Short Wave Antenna by Kipp Amundson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Worked fine for a few days and died!

Well it works, but it's nothing special and seems a bit overpriced for what is just a preamp and a few cables. Performance is almost identical to 35ft cable except it drops below 500kHz and above 20MHz. Reception is good on 40 and 20m, but reception on 11m is much worse than on 35ft. This device has several advantages over a straight cable as it's much smaller and you can place it almost anywhere as long as you have it on a pole and you can rotate it to improve reception a bit or eliminate interference. He died a few days later and I sent him back.

Pros
  • Accessories and Consumables
Cons
  • So far so good
