## Description

XHDATA AN-80 Shortwave Antenna FM SW External Antenna Whip Antenna to Improve Signal Reception : desertcart.in: Electronics

Review: Works but TOO expensive - Price is too high for just a wire.
Review: Waste of money - After reading some positive reviews I was very curious and purchased this. I am extremely disappointed and I can't understand how people rated this to 5 star. Due to high buildings, electric wire and mobile towers in cities the reception of radio are extremely affected. I purchased this external antenna and it didn’t solve the problem. I went to the village and tried there but still it didn’t worked. Because it’s just a wire and nothing else. I had copper wiring cable, I tied the wire on 6th Floor and it’s working fine. No science, no engeenering just a single wire. Buy a 20 metre wire tie them on a high place . You don’t need to pay 1500 for this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: i have an old radio shack dx-100 how can i can hooked this to it ?**
A: From looking at some old manuals online, the dx-100 has a screw terminal for an external antenna, not socket for a plug like the reel antenna in question. I think you will have success if you cut off the plug, strip the end of the wire from insulation, and use the screw terminal. You will not need any special tools - just a good sharp knife.

**Q: Can this antenna work and improve am/fm radio reception?**
A: It will greatly improve FM reception. AM uses a different type of antenna but a slight improvement may be noticed on AM.

**Q: I already have the reel antenna. How do I order just the adapter clip alone?**
A: I don't think you can, there is no listing for parts, just solder a small clamp and that's it.

**Q: Is there a way (a cable?) to extend the distance from the antenna to the radio?**
A: Yes you can use an audio cable extension https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075SV6XZY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ External Antennae- A good Product but costly
*by V***S on 23 December 2024*

I installed this on my balcony which has very good ventilation and well protected from rain. The product is good but too expensive for the plastic construction. Strongly built though. Essentially this has well made 3.5mm socket and clip package extended by 23ft slim cable which can be clipped directly to either antennae or inserted into in 3.5mm jack provided in the radio. During scanning it definitely improves the quality of MW and FM, improved weak signals and picked up some 90+ SW stations from Chennai City location. But only two of MW stations are bright. Further no scope for anymore MW stations. To bad 🥴... FM stations are crystal clear and SW stations mostly are fringy and blurry excepting South koria and Chinese channels.. Here overcast weather also plays the villain. Overall the purchase donot disappoint but cannot over expect also. The cable is flimsy and could have been made better ✖️👍 This being a review made in very early time any other defects observed will be posted in my next review after 1 or 2 months👍👍
