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.

hi
I ask about this from the perspective of someone surprised he owns one. I
had forgotten I bought one over 10 years ago for an older relative who
could not get reliable radio reception. My recollection is the set-up and
installation was called off before it got started for (their) health
reasons. So I packed it away and forgot I owned it. It just surfaced this
week.
So, what do I own? Is it worth using? If not, is it worth anything on
re-sale? Not that I expect those questions can be answered, but I am
curious if anyone has any experience with this thing. Thanks
