## Description

desertcart.com: XHDATA AN-80 Shortwave Reel Antenna FM SW External Antenna Whip Antenna to Improve Signal Reception Suitable for FM SW Radio : Electronics

Review: Excellent Antenna Extension - Good Price - Fast Shipping - I've used this antenna extension to bring in far away FM and Short Wave stations. I've tried it on a couple of different radio's and it works great. Good value for the money and fast shipping. You should buy one to clip to your own radio's antenna especially in case of emergency. Oh, and my truck has a vertical rod type antenna and when I'm parked somewhere, I can clip this antenna extension to bring in extra AM or FM stations. It works! It's easy and fast to reel back into it's portable case with just a finger. I sincerely recommend it.
Review: Good product but do your research. - This is an excellent product and does give you better reception but you have to apply some radio knowledge. If you use this inside near tvs or routers etc etc it will mot work well. Fact is your radio won’t either. If you use this with your antenna extended away from electronic noise and of course when shortwave stations are broadcasting you will see results On the east coast of the US I use this out side at night and yes I actually went online to see when the stations are broadcasting. Shortwave is not a clockwork schedule and yes you will need to do some research as to who or what is broadcasting on a given date and time I would use this again and yes I would give this as a gift. Do not expect the works for a basic wire spool extension but you will See improvement.

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product at inexpensive price, works as expected
*by V***K on June 11, 2025*

It is a good product at a good price. It is priced as much as 50% less than products that look identical from other sources/manufacturers. The inclusion of the whip antenna connector cable and the phono antenna plug end for the radio ant receptacle are good inclusions. Basicly it is 30 feet of hookup wire. The value comes from the way it stores and releases the wire and the 2 types of connections to the radio. Other than that no difference electrically/magnetive between it and 30 feet of antenna wire. Good value for an inexpensive cost.
