I have recently bought the AA30 into which I
feeed a long wire of 15m. I originally decided that this might be a good
solution for me as In live in an apartment and have very little possibility of
running a permanenetly fixed wire. However, the telescopic antenna that comes
with the unit, I have found to be of very little use; it seemed even to struggle
picking up a very strong BBC World Service signal here in Malaysia. Since then I
have found a way of fixing a permanenet long wire and found that the AA3 has
come into a new lease of life. It really does help my FRG-100 pick out some
incredibly weak signals. Whilst the gain and band selection are purposeful and
responsive, the peak tune facility takes a lot of getting used to - I have spent
an enormous amount of time 'listening' for strongest moments!
I am pleased with the purchase - it now does precisely what I
want it to - but if you need a telescopic...forget it!
Chris.
