Have you used this antenna with the Sangean WR-2? Have you found it to be effective?

It works well wit my Sangean weather radio with also picks up AM FM stations. I added the antenna later to improve reception and it works.

As stated in my review of this product: I currently own TWO Sangean CL-100 Table-Top Weather Hazard Alert with AM/FM-RBDS Alarm Clock Radios. I live in Houston and the weather gets pretty bad. That being said, I'm about 30 miles away from the NOAA broadcasting station in Galveston, and the land is quite flat. The signal I was receiving was somewhat weak without an antenna so I purchased THREE of these. The second I plugged one in, I had absolutely NO SIGNAL. I then plugged it into my second radio, and again, NO SIGNAL. I tried all three antennas on both radios, and again, NO SIGNAL. Placement was irrelevant as I moved them to the highest floor, different rooms, took them outside, and regardless of the orientation of radios with these alleged "antennas," NO SIGNAL. In my opinion, these antennas are literally worthless. If it were possible to give this antenna negative stars in the rating, I would. Do NOT waste your money on this stick-on-a-cord. As a matter of fact, stop looking at these completely. THEY DO NOT WORK - AND REMEMBER, I TESTED THREE OF THEM ON TWO DIFFERENT RADIOS.

I have a "Jack" antenna head mounted to a Winegard directional mast. This worked perfectly well with the Jack antenna. However do not use any other gain/amplification... I only used this RFL-342 and I did not have my Jack inline amplifier connected. So just use this. No other amplified source.

Communications is two way, so this particular antenna has very low transmit gain and therefore even if it's receive sensitivity were much better, it could not work with one of them no matter which end you put it on. In actual testing, the output of this antenna was so bad that a unity gain (2.2 dbi) stick antenna was actually broadcasting with a slightly stronger signal when connected to the same equipment. I have tested a TPlink parabolic 24 dbi antenna that actually works for both transmit and receive.

I believe R. Garrison is correct. One other thing to know, though, is that from my experience this blade-type antenna does NOT perform significantly better than rabbit ears-type antennas if the signals in your area are not good to start with. If you're considering this to improve on rabbit ears, I personally don't think it's going to improve your reception much.

I have this antenna and have no issues. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002L0BXIK/ref=mp_s_a_1_22?qid=1387051368&sr;=8-22π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70. You will need one that will do multi freq.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I am wondering the same thing - did you ever find an antenna that works? Thanks!

I don't know which unit you have; but Yes this antenna should work well with most of them. You should be fore warned though that you must use a full matched set of antennas' meaning If your unit has two, three, or four antenna's you must replace them all not just one.

The 14.5" antenna works very well on the uv82. I have both and very happy with it.

I agree. I bought a better antenna and it works as good as any handheld I've had or had experience with. WELL worth the money!

I bought mine in December to use with software for virtual radar and it works very well I would recomend a better antenna. What are you planning to use it for? ( virtual radar, radio monitoring etc.)

I'm sorry to say, neither. I tried three of these Sangean ANT-100 antennas on two different Sangean CL-100 radios and there was absolutely no signal improvement whatsoever on ANY band (AM, FM or NOAA). The signal I was receiving prior to attaching this "antenna" greatly degraded the moment I plugged it in. I also took the liberty of trying this "antenna" on several other radios in my home and unfortunately, I obtained the same result.In my opinion (and experience), this so-called "antenna" is literally worthless and Amazon should discontinue this product immediately.

I have been using it for over a year and it has worked well. I have one Chicago antenna and one for Milwaukee, no problems.

I have no experience with the antenna you inquired about but did replace an Antenna Direct DB9 with the Winegard. The Winegard is slightly superior to the DB8. The only antenna I have tried that is better than the Winegard flat wave is a highly directional 177 foot Wineard that was just too long for the attic. The principal stations watched are about 50 miles away across some ridges and valleys and subject to a lot of stormy weather. The flat wave is doing pretty well, is smaller than the antenna it replaced and comes with a matched amplifier. kFor anything under 50 miles the flat wae should be quite adequite. David

I had 2 other antennas that were not amplified but they were a different brand (RCA). The 2 Winegard amplified antennas I bought have worked sooooo much better than those 2 other un-amplified ones. But I can't help you to compare the Winegard un-amplified with the Winegard amplified model. I will say I LOVE my Winegard amplified antennas! I have one in the Living room and one in the bedroom and get way more channels than I ever did with the the RCAs that I had previously.

I have used it on my Clear Wireless express hub modem but it is not really optimized for the 2.5GHz that is used on the WiMax signals. I was able to get a 3-4 bar signal when i would only get one bar, so it was usable. When I moved into a area where the signal was strong (4 bars and above), it did not drop below 5 bars with this antenna on.

Yes I used all 4 antennas I always use my equipment to it's best. I tried relocating the receiver, changing batteries, replacing two of the antennas.

Yes. It pulls in the NOAA weather channel on my Uniden 980SSB loud and clear. It's a great antenna.
