Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the performance, reception, ease of assembly, quality, and value of the antenna. They mention that it works great indoors, picks up channels reliably, and is well made. Some are happy with clarity, and size. That said, opinions are mixed on omnidirectional.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are satisfied with the performance of the antenna. They mention that it works great indoors, it works okay as a scanner, and it works pretty good on 700MHz and 800MHz as long as they don't use it for other purposes.

Customers like the reception of the antenna. They say that it picks up channels reliably from around 35-50 miles away, and it does well on FM use. Customers also say that the antenna produces a better quality of music with better bass highs and richness than the TV antenna.
"...inside on the 2nd floor of a brick and mortar building and it picks up the FM signals that I need...." Read more
"...n't have to point it in a particular direction, it will pick up stations from all directions..." Read more
"I am at least 65 miles from my station of choice and the reception has never been better. I have it mounted outside @ 11 feet." Read more
"...Based on this, I expect to get outstanding reception of all FM stations I care to hear after taking it outside and higher on the first floor." Read more
Customers find the antenna easy to assemble. They mention that it is easy to install on a mast and assemble it.
"Easy to install. Shorter range non-directional. Just put it up and plug it in." Read more
"...They're easy to assemble and the attaching hardware has stood up to me taking them apart and putting them back together several times." Read more
"...Easy to install I had it up and working within 30 minutes. Well worth the money." Read more
"...Thats another review. Antenna came undamaged, easy to assemble. Took a little work to mount onto my shop. I would recommend the antenna." Read more
Customers like the quality of the antenna. They say it's well-made, sturdy, and has a large size. However, some customers find that reception is not as strong as expected. Overall, customers are satisfied with the quality and functionality of the product.
"...I can't wait to get it outside and up higher. It seams well built." Read more
"...The included mounting hardware is top rate -- good quality, and decently finished. I mounted my antenna on a piece of 3/4 EMT...." Read more
"...The antenna is stable intalled in the S shape, and has gone through wind storms with no issues...." Read more
"The quality of the antenna was better than what I thought it would be for the money. It was very easy to assemble and is very sturdy." Read more

"...(I needed some of the other sizes, but it's a very reasonably priced kit and on Amazon!) See the attached pic for the placement...." Read more
"...Easy to install I had it up and working within 30 minutes. Well worth the money." Read more
"...So I am well pleased with this antenna, and think that is worth it for the modest price...." Read more
"...However, it does the job using the modified assembly. The antenna is worth it and provided many more clear, stable FM channels!" Read more
Customers are satisfied with the clarity of the antenna. They mention that it picks up stations nice and clear, and the HD signal is crystal clear. Some reviewers also mention that the difference in clarity and number of stations was stunning.
"...When it finally got to 99.7 it locked in and the station came in crystal clear. I am happy...." Read more
"...The antenna is worth it and provided many more clear, stable FM channels!" Read more
"...Now this station comes in crystal clear, loud, and strong...." Read more
"...for both of these stations, but thanks to this antenna, the signals come in clearly...." Read more
Customers like the size of the antenna. For example, they mention it's small enough to mount indoors or attic, lightweight, sturdy, and a cinch to assemble. That said, some say the antenna fits their needs well and works great. The tube used for the antenna is reasonably thick and quite stiff, making it suitable for outdoor use.
"...construction quality, the aluminum tube used for the antenna is reasonably thick and quite stiff so it should retain its shape through the years...." Read more
"...This antenna fitted my needs well and works great. The only thing I wish it had was the mast...." Read more
"...This antenna is small enough to mount indoors or attic if you can do that. Height helps. It can be hung from the ceiling vent politely enough...." Read more
"Nice compact FM antenna. Easy to install and works well. Use it outside my garage for my stereo system and it pulls in lots of stations ." Read more
Customers are mixed about the omnidirectional antenna. Some mention it's omni-directional, but does have a little bit of gain with the split, while others say it is very directional and needs to be tuned. The folded dipole design, it is reasonably omni directional, and quite sensitive to direction and orientation. However, some say it'd be better if it was more directional.
"So the other reviews pan this antenna for not being omnidirectional...." Read more
"Easy to install. Shorter range non-directional. Just put it up and plug it in." Read more
"...However, the S config was noticably better, but very dependent on directional clocking, and which way it was spun around in the horizontal plane...." Read more
"...The really nice thing about this design is that it's omnidirectional, meaning you don't have to point it in a particular direction, it will pick up..." Read more

UPDATE: I mounted the antenna outside on top of a ten foot stick of PVC. I had a couple of sticks of EMT in the garage so I ran the RG6 through that to get outside. Now I have zero interference from my LED lights.. This antenna works splendidly for me!!!
I tested the signal strength using GQRX SDR software on a mac. The dbFS scale on this app measures decibels relative to full scale. It's a relative measurement. With GQRX tuned to 93.9 FM (WNYC in NYC) and a dipole antenna oriented the right way with respect to the broadcast antenna, I observed a reading of about -45 dbFS on GQRX. With this Stellar Labs circular folded dipole antenna with the connector end pointing toward the broadcast antenna, I observed -23 dbFS for the same broadcast signal. That's quite impressive!
Based on some other reviews and Q&A, I was sure that I could do better by replacing the built-in balanced-unbalanced transformer "balun" with a quality balun such as a Channel Master CM-3203. So I opened up the plastic housing to disconnect the built-in balun. But I didn't find any balun there. Instead, there was a printed circuit board with the F-connector and some strange zig-zag etch pattern (see pictures). In any case, I removed the PCB and connected the Channel Master balun to the two ends of the antenna (where the screw holes are). The signal strength results with the channel master balun were disappointing. The best I got was -36 dbFS for the same broadcast signal and the antenna oriented the right way. So whatever contraption they have on the PCB works well.
Very pleased with the performance of this antenna. I plan to install it in the attic. Hopefully, that will give even better performance.

For the installation location, the antenna is sensitive to multipath interference, so it is best to site it away from metallic structures and power lines, as these may add noise to the signal. The antenna is directional, so being able to turn it to your preferred station is a plus. I installed it on a pole then shifted it until the noise was reduced.
As I mostly listen to classical which has quiet passages, low noise is important to me. Once setup ideally, the sound was fantastic, with a big soundstage and great dynamic contrast. If the fit were perfect, this would be a 5 star product.
