Currently, using the receiver alone with its build in antenna I can listen
to the same broadcasts as attaching the wind up antenna into it. Perhaps it
improves a wee bit reception, but it's not always noticeable.

Even I'm starting to use the build in antenna with only its first section
extracted and placed in a vertical position. Of course, I suffer from
fadding and, sometimes, background noise but the wind up antenna doesn't
really improve it.

Therefore, will one of those kits help the receiver boosting reception?

Thank you!
