Kaito T-1 Radio Antenna

Saw a Youtube video recommending this but I was still surprised how well it helped tuning in a local FM station I couldn't access otherwise.

This is a great, well made, solid antenna. You can plug this in if you have a jack, or clip it to your antenna if you have an older radio. Works GREAT on AM bands and yes, FM too. It's a quality solid build that doesn't feel cheap. As an avid radio listener, I recommend it!

This makes a great accessory to any radio's built-in antenna. Of all the somewhat "negative" reviews that say it doesn't work well, or it's just another piece of wire...really doesn't understand radio wave propagation & how the atmosphere & the time of day really affects those incoming radio waves. I won't get into detail on how those work because it's a technical process to explain, but any Amateur Radio operator knows the point I wanted to make here. Clipping this onto the Kaito Voyager Pro while camping out in the middle of "nowhere" really helps pull in the radio stations. It's mostly used for shortwave, longwave & "worldband" frequencies, not for everyday "insert your favorite FM station here" kind of music station. It will help a bit, but not much. It's not designed for those bands. As far as getting it back into it's case...it's not a problem. Think of this scenario: when reeling up your garden hose, it reels up nicely if you use the whole reel, not just one side. In other words, reel it up while "tilting" it to the left then to the right, just like a garden hose or an extension cord onto a cord wheel. Use the whole wheel inside. It rolls up nicely with room to spare if done like this. Don't use the finger indentions to roll it up. Put your finger somewhere on the same side & spin. Don't use two fingers...it'll drive you crazy! I say it's a good buy for less than ten bucks. And it really helps pick up the atomic clock time server in Boulder Colorado on 20 MHz (or 20,000 KHz) at night. It's the strongest signal of the 5, 10, 15 & 20 MHz bands. Well, at least here on the East coast!

It does what it says it does that's all it's not going to give you signals from around the world unless you using it on a shortwave radio other than that it can be used on regular radios it can be used with walkie talkies it can be used with shortwave radios it can be used with TVs to have small antennas that stick up other than that it's just an antenna extender

This is it. I tried everything to get reception with my weather radio. I live in the country 45 miles from the weather center closest to me. I tired Tin foil, a metal coat hanger, speaker Wire and nothing worked. I bought this device as a last resort and it solved all the problems. Clipped it on the antenna and stretched out about 5 Feet of the spool and the weather center sounds like it’s in my back yard. I am happy happy happy. Great product at a great price!

I bought this antenna to go with Kaito Pocket-Size PLL Synthesized AM/FM Shortwave Radio, KA11 (GREAT RADIO---BUY IT) I live in a rural area free of high buildings and other things that could affect radio reception. The Kaito AN-03l Radio Antenna, may not work for you. I tried it late at night inside a wooden structured home in a room that can best be described as a "sun-room". The radio and the antenna were far removed from any sources of interference such as TV, cordless phones or energy saving lights. The room is mostly windows on the south and west sides. There is no use of steel studs or beams in the home. The antenna was extended along the inside of the windows and did not improve FM-SW reception. Re-winding the antenna is laborious. It may work for you. At less than $12.00, you might want to try it.

The antenna provides additional range for our emergency radio. Our original radio antenna was greatly restricted by our steel above ground shelter. The addition of the extra length antenna pulls in the weather channels very well.

Gosh darn antenna, for real for real

Works good in area that has lousy reception

Muito boa para FM fácil de enrolar Gostei do produto

Saw a few previous reviews that weren't that good but thought I would take the plunge anyway. I have seen comments about problems with the winding mechanism but take your time and it winds in easily. Definatly makes a huge difference when plugged into my Eton G3, in fact often the bands come alive with stations that are just not audiable at all with the telescopic ariel. Time will tell how robust it really is but it's in regular use now and if it eventually breaks at this price I would just buy another.

T1 Compact Antenna. Should have include one more clip to hang for convenience.
