Hi,

I need broadband (2MHz - 30MHz) receive-only capability. I will be
connecting the antenna to a system that can stare at 10 MHz of RF
spectrum simultaneously. I have very limited space and almost no
antenna experience.

I've been told to look for a loop antenna. I stumbled across the
MFJ-1024 active antenna.

What's the best choice for my application? I want to hear very weak
signals.

I have limited time available to do the install. I'll gladly spend more
money to have less hassle and a greater probability of success.

You're going to be at odds between your desires and what "very limited
space" is going to allow in the way of antennas. Unless you can get some
form of antenna away from the dwelling, and even better up in the air, very
weak signals are not in your future. If your listening is going to be on a
portable, a 10' window-area wire works fine, and so does the factory whip,
if you're upstairs, LOL. Loop antennas can be very expensive, costing more
than your radio, or cheap, AM Bcst band loops like Radio Shack occasionally
offers. With what little information you provided, its hard to tell what you
really expect, and what your price range for receivers is, or what you are
using.
