Metra 44-UA60 AM/FM Signal Amplifier with Bypass Switch

I installed this with a new Sony CDX-GT110 radio/CD to improve local NPR channel reception. It seems to help a little even though I live on a hillside. When I turn it off, the reception changes a bit, maybe it makes more difference for others. Although it helps.ACG

Pros
  • Package Weight: 1.0lbs
Cons
  • Seniors

It helps a little. - Accessories & Consumables

I live in a city where 5 radios are under one roof. Only the station I like pulls in and out at different points. I've paired this with a ground loop isolator for noise reduction. And I have no problem, I receive my favorite station clearly. This is not a magic black box. Just a little momentum. I'm happy with that.

Pros
  • In dash or under dash mount
Cons
  • Requires outlet

No upgrades for FM, waste of money

Before installing it in the dash, I checked by pulling the radio out of the dash and wiring it in series from the antenna to the radio. 12 V. connected with a jumper. Tune into an FM station with poor reception that I wanted to improve. The amp was on, the red LED lit when I pushed the button. Whether the 44-UA60 LED is on or off makes absolutely no difference to radio reception. Bought this a few months ago and can't return it. I recommend you do this simple test before you slice yourโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Antenna with booster for AM/FM with bypass switch
Cons
  • Some minor things
