The external antenna worked for my application, which was to receive a better signal while in our safe-room / storm shelter, during storms. Without the external antenna, the signal was very weak and cut in and out. I ran the coax cable through a hole in top of the shelter and the signal was dramatically improved.

I have this product before and it has done it job. I use it on midland brand weather radios in a tough terrain environment. Unless the antenna is positioned perfectly in tough terrain will it pick up the signal. In a high apartment it works well. But in little to no signal environment the antenna increases the gain some what.

Conclusion: if you are in an area where the signal is noisy or hard to hear this antenna will improve that signal. If you live in an area with poor to no signal, this product is not for you. Buy a large antenna to mount outside, and run the cable inside for your weather radio.

I didn't see where it made any difference between built in and this one. Maybe in some cases it could help but i doubt it. Save your money.

Wired it into the system and am using it to provide notification along with our weather radio system. Works well.

I ordered two Midland WR-300s and two Reecom RA-1601 external antennas. A set for my upstairs bedroom, and a set for the living room. When I plug in the external antenna in EITHER unit, it does -nothing-. No change. SO, I removed the built in telescoping antenna. Terrible reception, so THEN I plugged the Reecom antenna back in and no change. None. Both antennas switched to both units, nothing. If it is a bad external jack, then the jack is bad on two units that are brand new. Not returning, as its not worth the hassle. I'll throw both antennas in the electronics box and who knows if I can find a use down the road where I can test them again. I even used the batterys to take the radio/antenna outside and still NO reception with only the external antenna plugged in. When I screw the telescoping antenna back in (using the tiny screw to hold it back on), I get reception. I live in Dallas.
