In Reply to: BBB Complaints Against this Vendor [Was:RE: FM 2500 FM Antenna is awesome! posted by Vinyl Rules! on December 6, 2018 at 12:58:08:
MD's whips are pleasure-boat antennas which work about as well as any other boat antenna which sell for less $$$. But that MD labelling is worth it?Another chap sells one with just a few elements and calls it a DX antenna! This forum gets lots of questions about reception which reflect little knowledge of their own antenna and reception requirements.
Also?, MD markets its tuners with a single valve for audio out only, as 'valve tuners'.
IME the most important part of a real valve tuner is its front end and IF strip. The MPX stages can often be improved upon, and the output stage, too.
But, they are very hard to overload with in-band signals, and some can reject out-of-band signals extremely well!
BBBrains indeed.

- It is sadly typical of US marketers of 'FM' antennas. And the FM market itself, the listeners. - Timbo in Oz 13:07:43 12/31/18 (0)
