Bingfu FM Radio Antenna Magnetic Base for Pioneer Onkyo Yamaha Marantz Sherwood Indoor Digital HD FM Radio Bluetooth Home Stereo Receiver AV Audio Video Home Theater Receiver Tuner

Received my order from Amazon very fast --- and arrived in perfect condition !Beautiful little FM ANTENNA --- only about12" tall --- and has a long cord on it !Comes with 3 different kinds of connectors --- so it should fit just about anything you have !Actually. --- I got this antenna for my big AM/FM Stereo Radio --- but my radio does not have an external antenna terminal ---so I could not use it on my radio !I hooked it up to my TV! My TV picture kept going on and off due to a weak signal--- and it was driving my crazy ! But since I hooked this little FM Antenna up to my TV--- my picture stays on --- does not cut on and off anymore !So --- it seems to be working great with my TV ! Greatly improves reception !!!DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY !!!

It’s just a basic antenna but works better than the clear T wire many manufacturers include with receivers. It’s also more attractive than those long T wires.It’s not amplified but still brings in stations better than the OEM antenna.I appreciate the extra adapter connectors to ensure it will support your tuner or receiver connections.The antenna itself has a small magnetic base that works a a stand on any flat surface. However when placing the antenna on the receiver which is usually has a metal case ensuring it stays where you want it.I have an amplified antenna on another receiver and it works about the same as this one, only without the power supply and adjustable controls on the amplified version. I think I prefer the simplicity and clean look of this antenna better.

I had purchased the small Terk non-amplified $10 antenna previously, and this one works just a bit better. For me, it also works better than the usual FM wire dipole, no matter how I moved the dipole around. The 9 foot cable on the Bingfu allowed me to place the antenna on a high window sill, and height always helps an FM signal. The cable is thin, but seems to conduct the signal well. I was impressed by the quality of the included adapters, although I didn't require them for my install. I followed the recommendation of a reviewer here to use a metal jar lid to make a bigger, more secure footing for the small (weak) magnet base. There is a circle of 3M double-stick adhesive included, so that you could use that to stabilize the antenna, once you've found it's optimal position. It's vertical orientation seems to make this more of a true omni-directional antenna than the Terk or dipole, and moving it around might help to avoid interference from lights and appliances and such, but really doesn't change the signal much, except if you move it higher, which helps.The antenna is very small, and doesn't call attention to itself, which is also a plus.Like the Terk, it was an improvement over the dipole. But the Bingfu is easier to set up and does perform a bit better.

One of my favorite FM stations had receptions problems, some days the signal would be fine, some days weak, some days just static, all I think depending on the weather. I had the antenna that came with the receiver hooked up, but was still having reception problems. The problem with the antenna that came with the receiver was that it was only 2' long and really flimsy piece of wire. I installed this antenna and now my reception is great, every day. What I think was good about this antenna is that the cord is long enough ( I think 10') that I was able to mount the antenna at the top of the built in bookcase that houses the receiver. And the wire is thin enough that I was able to chase it through some very tight openings in the bookcase. The connector is a screw on coax so you know you have a good tight connection, compared to the slip on connector that originally came with the receiver. The magnetic base does not seem very strong, but that did not matter since I was mounting it on a wood shelf in the bookcase, it came with a 3M sticky disc that holds it very secure and the design and color of the antenna make it very discreet, hardly even see it. What I really do not know is how much the antenna it self is contributing to the great reception or having been able to raise the antenna 8' higher in the air, I suspect both have helped. Anyways I was pleasantly surprised by it and thinking of buying another for another house. I have noticed that other low frequency channels that were not coming in clear are now very clear. I do not think this antenna has picked up any NEW stations, and I would not have expected this antenna to do that.

This is a simple FM antenna with no amplifier. It works fine for pulling in the local stations but for anything with a weaker signal this simply did not cut it. It seems sturdy enough and the mag mount is convenient but it simply was not good enough for my needs. I will hold on to it as it was cheap enough to not be worth the hassle of returning.

I had hoped that this FM antenna would work but it performed very poorly. I liked it's compact size but a flat panel indoor TV antenna worked much better.

The antenna itself may or may not pull in distant stations, I'm in a market where that doesn't apply. Multipath and interference are problems. The usual FM antenna solutions are difficult to move around for best reception for a given station. The Bingfu has a long cord and is easy to move around, and the magnetic bottom is useful. It is also far nicer visually than the usual alternatives. Though this may be the cheapest version of 'this' configuration, it seems well made and is functional.

plugged it into my bose, placed the magnet base on the metal post of my tv stand. works for me, static to clear reception on my favorite fm station.
