Quality


This is a great and easy to use antenna, that will make a huge improvement on your shortwave radio reception.


Nice, portable, and very helpful in radio signal pickup.


And the product description for that radio says there are two antennas included with the radio - a ferrite rod internally, and ...  Read More


Hang it high and tight, and out of the reach of clawed paws and sharp teeth!

Price


This antenna is decent for the money.


I didn't expect perfection at that price point.

Competitiveness


The pl880 does come with a wire antenna, and it works just as well as this one.


The antenna that came with the sony receiver appears to be exactly the same antenna - just without the sangean name on it.

    The wire is necessarily thin which makes it somewhat brittle and my first one which i bought from radio shack over 20 years ago eventually got tangled up inside and broke

    But i got my moneys worth


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In other words to be able to rollup the wire antenna into the storage unit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I understand if the tension were too high it might pull a radio over so the tension on the installed roller is rather 34light34 which is good so on an occasion if required one may have to roll the wire antenna slightly tighter

    Very long and connects very snug to antenna


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also has a jack if your radio has a space to plug antenna directly to radio

    I just unraveled and hung it out of window
