    • Take my advice, run from the RCA as fast as you can, and put that same $34 into a Leaf.
    • The overall reception is about twice as good as with rabbitt ears regarding consistancy of signal, but really no more channels than with rabbitt ears, though less need for moving the antenna around.

    • I don't think it works any better than, or maybe even as well as, rabbit ears.
