POS AntennaReview by Foggywayne, 2010-08-16
I bought one of these antennas to put on my boat. It didn't come with any type mounting instructions. Once I finally got it installed, the reception for my radio sucked. I ended up taking it off and throwing it in the trash. I went to a local Auto Parts store and got another antenna of the same type, installed it on my boat and had great reception. I would not recommend this antenna to anyone. It's a cheap made piece of Cr@p....

This antenna work very well. I get 3 times the radio stations I did before.
Total Junk for a Junk Company
Review by Anton D D'Raeko, 2010-06-10
This has to be the absolutely worse antenna in modern electronic history! I was getting better reception with a piece of speaker wire attached to the radio than I was with the mast of this antenna. I mounted and remounted it six times trying for a better connection or location for it. That is, until the mounting hardware finally snapped. I contacted BOSS and they stated that I probably received a defective antenna however they offered no remedy to fix the situation. I've been in the Import/Export business for 30 years so I'm fairly confident that BOSS probably pays less than a buck for these things per unit straight off the ship from China. Yet they never offered to send me a replacement or antenna or satisfy my displeasure in any other way. Stay far away from this antenna and this company!!!!
Missing instructions are essential...
Review by KDon, 2010-03-11
Other reviewers have mentioned the absence of instructions, but indicated they eventually figured out how to use the antenna without them. I'm stumped without the instructions. It is not at all self evident how to attach the cable base to the antenna. Also unclear is how to attach the combination of the two to your vehicle. I think this particular antenna may be more complicated than others because of the weather shielding... Who do I contact for "technical support" with this item?
One other issue: the additional product info says "stretches to 56 inches". That had left me with the impression that the antenna would extend to 56 inches. Nope. The cable is 56" long. The fixed-length antenna is about 12" long.
The manufacturing quality appears to be ok. I haven't yet been able to test the reception...
what a joke
Review by Mark Christian, 2010-03-07
not very happy with this item. no instructions or diagrams to install. no help from the maker of this item. very frustrating on trying to contact company, finally 10 days later got help and was able to install.
