FM Antenna for Bose Wave Radio, Ancable F Type Ant with 3.5mm to Coaxial Adapter

Better than original OEM antenna from Bose

Works much better than the round cable type.

I live 40 miles from the nearest public radio transmitter and the normal "pole" antenna that is included with the FM HD radio I purchased didn't provide a strong enough signal to consistently lock onto the high-definition digital side channel. This antenna increased the reported signal strength from one to three bars and the radio now consistently locks onto the HD signal. It seems a trifle expensive for what it is but if you're having difficulty receiving a radio station this antenna will probably help.

Perfect fit for my Bose 3-2-1 system!

fit right on.

Granted, I only tested 3 passive FM radio antenna for my 20 year old Sony AV 5.1 channel receiver. But this one worked much better than the other two designs. One was similar in layout and length insofar as it was a dipole, but did not have the ribbon style of construction where the dipole loop conductors are separated by 1/4" or so for the entire run and was just the two connectors on top of each other inside a clear insulating jacket. Clearly the distance between the conducting wires matters. The cheaper antenna is of the sort that comes with AV receivers nowadays (ask me how I know! lol!)This antenna style looks like the same type that came with Sony receivers in the 80s and possibly later, if you've ever seen or used one of those.The only option better than this is probably an outside mounting circular dipole style antenna - I'd get one, but I don't have a good place to mount it where it would be properly grounded and where I can easily connect it to the receiver unless I want to mount it inside somewhere.

Once I plugged the antenna in I was able to get many more stations than I was getting with my old antenna and they came in clearer.

FM antenna replacement for bose wave radio. Made from good quality material.
