Product Description
The newly released KA33 portable active loop antenna is an improved version of widely praised shortwave antenna KA31, in addition to all the features of the KA31, the KA33 comes with a ferrite bar antenna to be coupled with radio's own antenna, thus greatly enhance its AM sensitivity & selectivity. It is an ideal choice for the traveller who wants maximum performance from his/her worldband radio. The flexible folding loop antenna is 15 inches when fully extended, but folds down with a twist to a mere 6 inches (18 cm) and neatly fits in the supplied plastic blister. A mounting clip and suction cup on the end of the loop allows easy placement in a variety of situations. The suction cup is especially useful for mounting the antenna to a window where reception will often be the best.
The loop antenna is then connected to the amplified tuning RF control box powered by 2 AAA alkaline batteries (not included) via the 15 foot cable. An 18" cable comes out of the control box and this is either plugged into the radio's 1/8" antenna jack where possible or an adapter (included) is used to clip to its lowered telescopic whip antenna. For desktop radio the adapter is used to clip the leads to the radio's antenna and ground connectors.
