There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The first unit I got was clearly a return that someone had returned to Amazon, even though I paid for a new unit. It was missing the power adaptor so I contacted Amazon.com for a replacement. I told them that they had sent me a used unit and that I wanted a new, non-opened unit. So Amazon sent me another unit. Guess what? Yep! It was also a previously opened return. But this one had the power adaptor, so I thought I would try it out.
I hooked it up and turned on my stereo, BUUZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!! the was super loud static. I thought I had connected it wrong and so I turned it off and reversed the wires. BUUUZZZZZZ!!!!!!! So I left my stereo on and just unplug the wires, the buzzing stopped and the was my local station loud, with just the normal tiny bit of static. I plug the wires back in BUZZZ!!! I tried moving the antenna base to every possible position, but it was just a huge buzzing sound.
WARNING! Evidently many people have bought and returned these units and Amazon.com is selling them as NEW and not Open Box. Save your money and do not buy this product. It is utterly worthless and will actually do worse then if you had no antenna at all. I have a $5 dollar store radio that can pick up stations with no problem, so I know it is not a reception issue. It is this antenna. Since I received two returned items, that tells you a lot of people are having the same problem with this product and returning it.
I contacted the company via email to trouble shoot the lack of FM performance, but I never got a reply.
For me it has been good for the AM signal and a complete zero for the FM signal. I cannot recommend the antenna due to its failure to perform in the FM mode and the lack of response from the company.
This is actually my second purchase of this item, replacing a unit purchased a few years back. The wire leading into the antenna eventually just broke from all the moving around, i.e., repositioning, the darn thing all the time. This new unit is worse than the old one whereas the old one I got somewhat better reception at night, most of the time.
As there doesn't really seem to be anything else like this on the market, I am living with it.
Wish there was something better, but it seems like fewer and fewer people are even listening to the radio these days, so I understand there isn't much demand for a product such as this.
And for some people, this thing works great, and others (like me), not so much.
