Looks just like the now-discontinued AN-1, doesn't it?

NEW Sony AN-12 Active Antenna
I have an AN-1 antenna. I see no difference appearance-wise between
the AN-1 and the AN-12 pictured on the Sony website. The picture on the Sony website shows the mounting apparatus in assembled form, whereas the Universal website shows all of the various components in pre-assembled form. While I've never bothered measuring the AN-1 in millimeters, the specs seem to be the same as the AN-12: frequency coverage (including the two frequency range settings), the same "ANC-2"-designated coupler, same power requirements (including the provision for 6xAA powering). I guess the question is, did Sony take the old AN-1 and modify it in some way and produce some new model? If so, might we see it in the States? I had thought Sony was pulling out of the shortwave market. junius |

Well, I'd say so, since I never found the AN-1 a particularly stellar
performer on LW or MW. Nonetheless, there is a switch on the front of the control box for two frequency ranges: 0.15-30MHz (LW/MW/SW) and 1.6-30MHz (SW) But, to be fair, the AN-1, while providing somewhat modest gain on the SW bands, was a decent match for portables (where overload would be a concern); the ability to mount it out of doors gave it an advantage not to be found with the now-popular indoor active loop antennas (AN-LP1 and that Kaito/Degen one) designed for portables. junius Brenda Ann wrote: Wasn't the AN-1 for HF frequencies only? |

BAD,
"The Sony AN-1 Active Antenna provides good reception over the range .15 to 30 MHz." http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/sw_ant/2206.html The Sony AN-1 Active Antenna Coverage would be 150 kHz to 30 MHz + Longwave Frequencies = 150 to 500 kHz + Medium Wave {AM BCB} = 500 to 1700 kHz + Shortwave Bands {HF} = 1.8 to 30 MHz IMHO - The Sony AN-12 Active Antenna would appear to be a re-make {up-grade ?} of the Sony AN-1 Active Antenna. http://www.ecat.sony.co.jp/avacc/ava...19147&KM=AN-12 hope this helps - iane ~ RHF |

Plain old ordinary wire is your best bet.Unless you have the funds and
room to put us some serious outside radio antennas. cuhulin |

Where is Les Locklear to straighten this up for us?
