It Works,

This review is from: Pixel Technologies AFHD-4 AM / FM & HD Radio Antenna (Electronics)
It does work. Other AM/FM antennas like Terk and others do not work. My home is in a dead zone for both AM and FM. For some reason, cheap portable radios work and so does the car, but my expensive home stereo receivers only catch one FM and ZERO AM stations. I bought a Terk antenna...didn't work. AAUGH! I need my sports radio. Need to listen to Hawaii football! Go Warriors!
As a last resort, I bought this and it worked. I still don't get all the local radio stations, but now I get 6 FM stations and several AM stations...best of all I can now listen to sports radio on my home stereo.

Excellent FM HD Radio Antenna,

This review is from: Pixel Technologies AFHD-4 AM / FM & HD Radio Antenna (Electronics)
I recently purchased a Polk I-Sonic HD Radio. Because of my property, tons of trees, I was having trouble picking up a consistent HD signal. I tried at least four different indoor antennas with little to no improvement. I then went to the AM / FM / HD Radio Outdoor Antenna (Model AFHD-4). It was extremely easy to install and now I pick up all FM HD stations in my area, with a solid signal. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that it talks about also improving the AM band and that was not true in my case. However, that is not what I wanted it for, I strictly purchased it for the FM band and it works great!!

"best ever" AM/FM antenna,

This review is from: Pixel Technologies AFHD-4 AM / FM & HD Radio Antenna (Electronics)
Having a workshop below ground level, trying to listen to radio while I worked is an exercise in frustration. I was limited to maybe two very close (5 miles distant)FM stations, and no AM due to static and hum from fluorescent lights. Not wanting to enter into a long term satellite radio contract, I bought this antenna, mounted on the peak of my roof, and hooked it into a Sony receiver with quad-shielded coax. I live high on the edge of a river valley, so I thought that reception shouldn't be a problem and I wanted a small footprint, as opposed to using a big TV type antenna. I hooked it all up and compared it to the Sony-supplied antennas. Okay, no more static and hum on the AM band. Number of stations received was about 25% better than the Sony antennas, but I still can't get stations I want (either AM or FM) that are less than 15 miles away. The Sony antennas were free with the receiver, and I've got over $150 tied up in this turkey (antenna, roof mount, coax, and parts) with negligible gain in performance. If I can find an old TV mast type antenna I may try it just for comparison's sake, since I already have all the coax and stuff anyway, or end up with XM or Sirius satellite radio. I may try to return it but I think I've had it too long, so I probably will have to eat it. Bottom line: if it's the "best ever" antenna, your situation is hopeless. Over priced and severely over rated. Save your money and forget about this antenna.
