Kaito Amplified Active Loop AM & Shortwave Antenna, KA33 Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥ |
I tested the Kaito KA33 antenna using my new Kaito KA1102 radio.
|
Yes, the antenna did give some improvement in reception for both SW and MW(AM) broadcasts. However, potential buyers new to SW radio should understand that it amplifies interference along with weak radio signals. But on fairly clean weak signals it is really helpful.
It should also be noted that my home location is not favorable for DX-ing - either SW or MW(AM) radio. In places like Mexico City however, this little antenna would most certainly excel - even when used with cheap SW or MW radios. My Kaito radio, when used with this antenna, compares unexpectedly well with my 15 pound Grundig Satellit 800 - when using only the Grundig's built-in antenna's - and using headphones on both radios.
Lastly, the antenna comes with several small pieces and perhaps should be kept together in the original box. For me this would take up too much room in my suitcase. I'll probably take the radio and leave the antenna at home when going on short trips. |
