5.0 out of 5 stars Antenna helps signal reception., May 13, 2007

This Antenna did help signal reception. The cord is only about 15' long, it would be nice if it was longer, so you have more options for getting it to a window or attic. I did not stick it to the exterior of a window as advertised. I placed the antenna above the ceiling tiles near a window, at our manufacturing facility in the H.R. Department, and that worked fine.

I have the Midland 300 and thought this would make reception clearer. Wrong! It made it much worse. Don't waste your money.
