Is this a good antenna?
 
Kind of a mixed bag from the reviews I've read. May be a passable to
good performer on higher bands, but poor on the lower ones and I
remember reading some complains about it being noisy. Best to do a
google groups search and read away for a few hours.

I've seen several new antennas over the years, and while they will
catch signals, they don't turn out to be the one
antenna-that-works-all-bands equally well as is usually claimed by the
maker.

No. It would be a poor receiving antenna.

I don't know... maybe if you add one of those "internal cellular telephone
booster antennas" that they were advertising years ago to your radio, it
might work better!
