Radio is the most accessible source of information and entertainment. Even smartphones have FM receivers. Weather forecast, news, music, broadcast of sports events ... It would seem that with the advent of television, the era of radio will end, but it has not ended. Even the global Internet did not affect its existence. It has taken root in a new environment, is mastering the vastness of the world wide web.
Every car has a radio - this is an integral part of the on-board audio system. But the presence of a receiver, even the most sophisticated, does not guarantee reliable and high-quality reception of radio stations. A good car antenna will keep out interference, an unstable signal, noises and wheezing between radio stations. A high-quality welcome is a guarantee of a great mood on the way.

For radio (AM / FM)
The main advantages
- Active type car antenna with ultra-long AM / FM reception for a clear, continuous signal, no noise or interference
- The built-in microcircuit allows high-quality processing of high-frequency signals, which increases the sensitivity and clarity of radio reception
- The antenna design provides a voltage stabilizer that compensates for current fluctuations in the on-board network, which positively affects the operation of the device
- Installed inside the car and, thanks to a long cable, can be positioned anywhere in the cabin, without blocking the view of the roadway
- Internal elements are protected by a high-quality ABS plastic case, which increases the reliability and durability of the model
The main advantages
- Omnidirectional internal car antenna of active type for receiving radio stations in VHF, FM, AM bands
- Shielded antenna cable provides high quality and clear signal transmission, preventing any level of interference
- A wide range of operating temperatures from -30 to + 70 ° С allows you to safely use the antenna in various climatic zones, regardless of the season
- Small size and 2.75 m cable make it possible to conveniently place the device without blocking the driver's view of the road
- Installation does not require special knowledge and skills and is easily done using the installation kit included in the kit
The main advantages
- Compact design of the product makes it easy to install in any convenient place inside the vehicle
- Self-adhesive fastening guarantees reliable and quick fixation of products, as well as practical further operation without the risk of falling off, even with active driving
- Omni-directional antenna type guarantees stable signal reception regardless of the actual location of the source relative to the vehicle
- Extended cable allows you to freely use the product without additional extension cords
- Gain of 20 dB predetermines the possibility of receiving FM, AM and VHF in urban areas with a moderate amount of potential interference
External
The main advantages
- The receiving antenna is made of high-alloy steel, therefore it is not subject to acid precipitation and deformation
- The signal gain is 3.2 dBi, which allows you to get a stable radio communication in the VHF range
- Universal magnetic mount allows the antenna to be used with almost any type of vehicle
- The housing design is geared towards external antenna use to achieve the best signal strength. Tuning is done by changing the length of the receiving pin
- The base case is made of polymer (plastic + rubber), so it does not come into chemical or physical contact with the case, preventing oxidation and rattling
For car radios
The main advantages
- Antenna with enhanced reception efficiency for installation on two-band walkie-talkies instead of a standard analogue
- Despite the large length (39.6 cm), compared to the standard antenna, thanks to the flexible design in the form of a spring of medium stiffness, it can be easily bent at 90 degrees and easily fits into a bag or backpack
- On Baofeng radios, after installing the antenna, the range of reliable communication increases by 40-50%, which significantly improves the quality of communication
- The antenna can operate in various frequency bands, but the maximum performance effect is achieved at 144/430 MHz
- The SMA-female RF connector is suitable for most radios of this type (BAOFENG Radio, Kenwood handheld Radio, QUANSHENG handheld Radio, LINTON handheld Radio, etc.). This expands the possibilities of its application.
