Review: Incredible little device!! AAAA+++++ - Item shipped right away, excellent service. The antenna is great, works really well for shortwave reception. Very satisfied. AA+++
Review: Very inexpensive solution to good reception - Bought this for my Choyong LC90 radio. See the video for how well it works for short wave reception. I am doing the video during the day and receiving distant stations. At night it is way better. Sangean provides a clip on adapter if your radio does not have an external 1/8 jack for antenna a very nice touch. In my video I have it plugged in to the external antenna. Right now is a great time for SW reception because we are at the peak of sunspot cycle. Unit winds up very nicely. Just be careful not to tangle it up like some reviewers stated. There is no problem if you wind it back with slight tension on the wire. For the price it is a nice little package. Yeah you could cut a piece of wire to 28 ft and use it but for the price you have a nice reusable antenna.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm new at this game. So my question is--- how do you attach this ant to your radio?//Thanks**
A: For the direct connection to work, the radio must have a jack (like the headphone jack) marked antenna. Not all radios have this direct connection and that is why Sangean includes the clip on pictured which attaches to your radio's telescopic antenna.

**Q: Does the antenna "base" have adhesive/magnet on the bottom? Would like to put the antenna where one of the two is required.**
A: This antenna consists of a long, thin, strong wire on a reel. To deploy the antenna  you connect the free end of the wire to your radio either with the attached plug or by clipping the provided adapter to the radio's telescoping antenna. Next you unspool the wire, positioning it as much in the clear as possible. The far end of the wire is permanently attached to the reel.. The reel has short lanyard with a clip that you can use to attach to whatever is at hand.

**Q: Would this product help with picking up fm stations on my fm/am portable stereo? i have trouble with midrange power fm stations at my workplace.**
A: Yes it worked great for me. I receive about twice as many FM stations.

**Q: Does it work or make the reception better w/ the Tecsun PL380?**
A: I can't say for the Tecsun 380 but use it with a Tecsun 310et  and Tecsun PL660 with very good results and have picked up places like Australia and New Zealand from southeast Ohio. I think the main difference between the 310 and 380 is that the 310 has an external antenna jack.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very useful, simple accessory
*by N***K on May 13, 2008*

I have two Eton (Grundig) radios. Both the S350DL and the mini300 are good radios for me. The addition of this useful little accessory, this random wire, has made both radios even better receivers. In short, sometimes the additional antenna helps with reception, sometimes the effect is negligible, in a few instances it is best to disconnect the antenna. In talking to a friend who is very knowledgeable about all things radio, this is what can be expected of this type of simple, easy to use, equipment. I do use this antenna in conjunction with a grounding wire when using the S350DL, and I find the combination to be very effective. The sensible adapter clip works fine with either radio's antenna. Were I to recommend any improvements to this product (I am doing so here), I'd suggest the addition of a sort of lock-in-place device, such as one often finds on tape measures, or fishing spools. The strap is handy, but a hook of some sort off of the spool case would also be a useful feature. Of course, one can fashion a hook and employ it with the strap to partially work around this. These are suggestions from an "indoor user", stringing about windows and curtains where these sort of features would be quite useful, and the kind of user likely to gain in numbers over time. Overall, this is a very useful device for better SW listening. I'd recommend this simple antenna to anyone who is looking for a way to easily improve SW reception. It's not a panacea for SW reception issues, but it certainly does help one's reception in a lot of circumstances. The reasonable price and super saver delivery are also positive factors.
