Good antenna for local traffic reception

Good antenna for land reception. Looks neat and compact in the down position. Less risk of breakage. This is the third item I have purchased over the years. It can receive AM radio when folded for storage. Must be raised and lengthened for VHF reception.

Pros
  • European antenna with amplifier for AM/FM bands Switching connections included.
Cons
  • Nothing

Totally unsuitable for use: Accessories and consumables

I was looking for a way to boost the signal from my home AM/FM receiver. This came up in a search with the rest of the boosted antenna and had the highest rating so I ordered it. This device is designed for cars only - 12 volts with car radio cable with banana plugs. Should be marked to distinguish it from the rest of the boosted antenna. I've looked at the description and still can't figure out how you know it's not for home use.

Pros
  • Audio and video accessories
Cons
  • Gotchas

Important, but sensitive to the installation position.

I installed this in my RV deep in north Minnesota. Without them I wouldn't be able to connect more than one next station. Now I can record 4 zones with great clarity. It's very picky about how well it performs in terms of its mounting position. Even with an adjustable antenna mast, how you position the base unit is important to get really good reception.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • I won't say anything
