Inexpensive and effective. May 03, 2010 By Robert D. Croucher
This simple wire runs behind the dashboard, but it seems to do a good job of picking up the radio stations. It is easy to install. My OEM antenna got a short. This was much easier than finding the short or replacing the entire wiring and antenna.

Works great on our boat! Jun 19, 2011 By John W.
We had terrible radio reception on our boat with the similar, but much shorter, antenna that came with the boat. We got one, maybe two stations in. Scans of the FM band would just cycle.

I bought this (using wife's Amazon acct; yes I bought this on Amazon, from Amazon) not holding too much hope and WAS I SURPRISED. Hooked it up in 2 seconds, snaked it along the inside of the fiberglass console, and WHAM - more stations than I can get in my car. Now an FM scan finds too many stations to keep track of. Occasionally we'll get some hissing in spots, but it's a night and day improvement, then some.

We're on the Fox chain of lakes in northern IL, and pretty far from most transmitters. About 60 mi from Chicago and 60 mi from Milwaukee.

I'm not sure if the person who gave this one star ever actually tried it, the review doesn't say.

Glad I didn't spend $50 on a fancy antenna.

Reply to "Not really an antenna" Mar 09, 2011 By Lew Miller "Silver Eagle"
Note: A rating is required to post this message, so please understand that mine is based on experience with a similar antenna.

This comment regards Mr. Martin's statement that this antenna is "just a piece of wire coming off of the center conductor."

In simplest terms, every antenna is "just a piece of wire coming off of the center conductor," and every piece of wire can be (and really is) an antenna. To work at a given frequency, the wire must be cut to a length that is specific to that frequency. The conventional "whip" antenna is functionally nothing but a stiff piece of wire.

Although I do not have this antenna, I have used "straight-wire" antennas in the past, and millions of "hams" and long-wave radio listeners have used them for decades.

I previously had a similar antenna, purchased from Radio Shack, in my truck. The wire was pasted near the side and top of the windshield. It worked perfectly for many years, but the tape eventually dried out, and the wire became loose and broke. I replaced it with a small, window-mounted, powered antenna, which works well, but is not quite as good as that old wire antenna was.

This antenna has the advantage that the wire is covered with protective insulation, so it is more durable than my old antenna, and it can be mounted almost anywhere, even on irregular surfaces. If properly installed, so that the wire is no closer than about two or three inches to metal, it should work as well as my old Radio Shack model did.

Using it on my Harley Nov 06, 2010 By John D. Biggs "tech guru"
I took the antenna off the back of my Harley, and put this thing inside the fairing. It plugged right into the radio and now my Harley has a slicker look without an antenna sticking out.

I'm sure the reception has decreased, I mostly listen to disks or my ipod so really the radio is just a backup.

Sonic Hub Antenna Mar 23, 2012 By Fishinberg
I purchased this to use with my Lowarnce Sonic Hub in my boat. It provides great reception and I get all the FM stations. I works great to run along side the wires inside the hull of your boat so you don't have to drill any extra holes.
