Our take on the Sangean ANT 60 Shortwave Radio Antenna

The Sangean ANT-60 is a compact reel antenna for shortwave and AM/FM portable radios. It clips onto the radio's telescopic whip or plugs into an external antenna jack, then unreels to give reception a longer wire to work with. It suits shortwave listeners and travelers whose radios have weak built-in antennas. It is a passive wire accessory, so it adds no amplification and cannot match an active or outdoor antenna, but it is simple, portable and cheap to try.

What reviewers say

Owners of shortwave portables generally find the ANT-60 a cheap, handy way to pull in more signal than a radio's own whip. Many say results vary by location and band, and that it is a modest improvement rather than a transformation.

  • PortabilityPraisedThe small reel packs easily with a portable radio.
  • SetupPraisedClipping it to the whip or plugging it in takes seconds.

  • AmplificationCriticisedIt is passive, so very weak signals still need a better antenna.

Questions and answers

Does the ANT-60 need power or tuning?
No. It is a passive wire antenna, so there is nothing to plug in or adjust beyond positioning the wire.
Will it work with any shortwave radio?
It works best with radios that have an external antenna jack or a clip-on whip. Radios with only a fixed internal antenna are harder to connect.
How long is the wire?
It unreels to roughly 20 feet, enough to string along a window or up to a higher point.
Is it better than an active or outdoor antenna?
No. It is a simple passive wire. An active or outdoor antenna usually pulls in more signal, especially on weak stations.
Can I use it indoors?
Yes, but placement matters. Near a window or higher up usually works better than low inside a room.
