Has anyone ever used a Antenna signal amplifier before ? Are they any good ?


Some people are like Slinkies, Their not really good for nothing... But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

If you do a search here you will find some who say that they work quite well. I believe most of the responses are talking about FM radio reception.

Sure they work but they will amplify all of the signals crossing your antenna, noise and interfering stations included. Remember, the job of the radios internal workings or front end, is to isolate or pass the one and only frequency that you want to listen to and block out all other frequencies, so if your set is not a super sensitive radio then you will still get a bunch of hash coming through the speaker only louder. And the noise, forget it, that's broadcasting it self on all frequencies, FM’s the best bet here.
