I think you will have success if you cut off the plug, strip the end of the wire from insulation, and use the screw terminal. You will not need any special tools - just a good sharp knife. **Q: Can this antenna work and improve am/fm radio reception?** A: It will greatly improve FM reception. AM uses a different type of antenna but a slight improvement may be noticed on AM. **Q: I already have the reel antenna. How do I order just the adapter clip alone?** A: I don't think you can, there is no listing for parts, just solder a small clamp and that's it. **Q: Is there a way (a cable?) to extend the distance from the antenna to the radio?** A: Yes you can use an audio cable extension https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075SV6XZY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***T on March 26, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***S on August 8, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***B on March 23, 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - XHDATA AN-80 Shortwave Reel Antenna FM SW External Antenna Whip Antenna to Improve Signal Reception Suitable for FM SW Radio - XHDATA D219 Portable AM FM Shortwave Radio Battery Operated Small Great Reception Radio with Good Sound,Earphone Jack for Elder,Home,Child [Gray] - XHDATA D808 Portable AM FM SW LW Air Band Shortwave Radio SSB RDS Multi Band Digital Radio Speaker with LCD Display Alarm Clock External Antenna (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/284479675-an-80-shortwave-reel-antenna-fm-sw-external-antenna-whip](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/284479675-an-80-shortwave-reel-antenna-fm-sw-external-antenna-whip) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
