Re: [IRCA] C.Crane Twin Coil Ferrite(R) AM Antenna Signal Booster - any good?

[Steve Ratzlaff <ratzlaffsteve@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric,
The twin coil ferrite antenna is very good for a 7.5" remotely-tuned 
ferrite antenna.  Its main plus is you can site it away from 
interference and still be able to tune it from the receiver end.
Gary DeBock uses the Amidon 7.5" ferrite rod as a transplant antenna on 
ULR radios, and gets huge improvements in sensitivity. If your radio has 
a much smaller ferrite antenna than 7.5" then this CCrane antenna should 
give a big boost too.
EBay often has several for bidding and they generally run in the $65-85 
range for final selling price.
73,
