Dual Electronics MAW40 Universal Soft Wire Flexible Long Range Marine Antenna AM/FM Radio Antenna Black

After reading a review that stated this got a great signal without even mounting the antenna, I decided to give this a shot for my trailer remodel. I had pulled the old antennas off the roof and sealed it all up, so I really didn't want to go poking new holes. I gutted the original defunct dvd/am/fm system and gained a little more cabinet space by using a short single din radio instead. I simply plugged this antenna in and coiled it behind the stereo toward the exterior wall. The reception is great, as good or better than my car antenna.

Attached to receiver tucked outta sight amazing reception! This is my second one will definitely order another if I need it for another project !

This antenna worked great! Some of the bad reviews are likely due to poor placement or isolation. When I first connected it, I was getting tons of static but the station would still come in strong. It took me a few different orientations before I got this right, but once I found its sweet spot, every station comes in crystal clear. I've worked in electronics for a very long time, and if there's one thing that's certain, it's that antennas are the most finicky devices in the world. Sitting in the wrong place in the room can make your FM turn into complete static if you turn your head the wrong direction, which is why movies and TV shows always depict people doing funny contortionist moves to retain clear broadcast signal while a coat hanger is sticking out of the tuner. The same applies today. If at first you don't succeed, try moving the antenna again. Remember too, that the shape and angles of it also affect reception. Oddly enough, I purchased this to be an internal antenna in my SUV and the best place for reception was shoved vertically down the inside of my C-pillar. As mentioned before, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to it, but just place it where it works best, and this is true of ANY antenna.

This antenna does the job fairly well. Although its stated to be a dipole antenna, I don't think that is accurate. A true dipole would probably offer lightly better reception, but this antenna was exactly what I was looking for and does an adequate job of signal reception. It has no problems bringing in the stations I listen to, and I live about 20 miles outside the city where most of the station transmitters reside. One caveat, and I almost gave this antenna a 1 star rating before stumbling onto this by accident before writing my review: When my phone is plugged into the USB port to charge, signal reception gets COMPLETELY wiped out. I am lucky if I can get ONE station reliably. This could have more to do with my phone or my radio than this actual antenna. Obviously one of them causes enough interference in the charge circuitry to wipe out radio reception. Unplug the phone, and reception is fine. Hope this helps somebody! My phone is an iPhone SE (the older one), and my radio is a Sony DSX-M80.
