THE ANTENNA WORKS FANTASTIC. DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND IT. WHEN I INSTALLED IT, THE THREADED STUD THE COAX CABLE SCREWS ONTO WAS LOOSE. IN MY INFINITELY WISDOM, I DISMANTLED IT TO TIGHTEN IT. RECEPTION WAS POOR WHEN INSTALLED. BRIAN AT PIXEL SAID I BROKE IT. I RETURNED THE UNIT AND BRIAN SENT A NEW REPLACEMENT. THE STUD WAS STILL LOOSE BUT I DIDN'T MESS WITH IT. AS STATED ABOVE, WORKS GREAT.

It does work. Other AM/FM antennas like Terk and others do not work. My home is in a dead zone for both AM and FM. For some reason, cheap portable radios work and so does the car, but my expensive home stereo receivers only catch one FM and ZERO AM stations. I bought a Terk antenna...didn't work. AAUGH! I need my sports radio. Need to listen to Hawaii football! Go Warriors!
As a last resort, I bought this and it worked. I still don't get all the local radio stations, but now I get 6 FM stations and several AM stations...best of all I can now listen to sports radio on my home stereo.

I recently purchased a Polk I-Sonic HD Radio. Because of my property, tons of trees, I was having trouble picking up a consistent HD signal. I tried at least four different indoor antennas with little to no improvement. I then went to the AM / FM / HD Radio Outdoor Antenna (Model AFHD-4). It was extremely easy to install and now I pick up all FM HD stations in my area, with a solid signal. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that it talks about also improving the AM band and that was not true in my case. However, that is not what I wanted it for, I strictly purchased it for the FM band and it works great!!
