Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
Our AA7C features both a high gain, low noise FET and a superb microwave bipolar amplifier, letting you use the antenna on all bands - shortwave, HF, VHF and UHF! Imagine a self-contained unit just 4 inches square that pulls in the signals like a 60 foot long wire; that's the advantage of an active antenna. For jazzing up VHF/UHF receivers and scanners, the AA7C has you covered, too. Over 15 dB of gain pulls in the weak ones, whether you use the built-in telescopic whip or an outside antenna. Features of the AA7C include: Front panel RF gain control, power switch with preamp bypass switching, two position HF and VHF/UHF selector, rear panel input and output connectors, convenient 9 volt battery operation and on-board telescopic whip antenna. We think you'll agree that the AA7C is simply the most practical and best value of any active antenna on the market! Includes whip antenna and matching case set. Operates on 9 V battery (not included). Case size 5 W x 1 1/2 H x 5 1/4 D.

Content: If you have a scanner and are trying to get ultralow bands, then this is for you. It does what is says it does, but it isn't going to change the way you do scanning.
It's a nice accessory and building it was a bit tricky but nothing god awful. Take your time and be patient.
Overall it gets a 4 because the price seems a bit much for what you get and the case that comes with it isn't a "perfect fit", some of the knobs stick out a bit more than I would like. However, it does do a nice job of getting lower bands in and also is compact which is all I needed it for.
Summary: It's pretty cool.
