I've had an Original Se;et A Tenna
now for over 10- years. It works
very good with some radios and not very well with others. I use it with
my Zenith Transoceanic R7000-1
and it does a terrific job, pulls the sifnals out of the "mud". The
original only works with radios that have builtin ferrite rod antennas.
It's kind of cheesy looking, yes for sure. But it is relativly cheap
and works well and LASTS. Very well made annd once bought it costs
nothing to operate.
I ytoed it with a neighbors ATS909 and it was mediocre at best. He bit
the bullet & bought one of to Twin Ferrite loops from CCrane ..it
worked well with the 909 and no better then the Selectatenna with my
Zenith. Evidently the ferrite rods size
and position in whatever radio used is a big factor.
