Looks like Grundig has re-badged the Tecsun AN-200
mediumwave antenna that's been available on eBay for
some months and is selling it through North American
dealers now ...

I wonder how it compares to the Radio Shack Loop and
the Selectatenna?

Steve,

I've no experience with the Tecsun AN 200, but recently John Bryant
had his Tecsun AN 100 sent here for some comparisons with the Select-
a-Tenna. As is often the case when comparing well known loops such as
these, I found that in the overall picture, the Tecsun and the SAT
were equal in performance. At times I thought one was outperforming
the other, but then the 'lesser' one would outdo the competition. I
ultimately had to call it a draw.

73's for now.

Steve/Kirk:

I also had John's Tecsun loop for a spell before sending it on to Kirk,
and I found it to be roughly the equivalent of the Terk Loop, at least
from a passive antenna perspective. The Tecsun seemed to tune a little
sharper, but not by much.

However, the signal coming off of the Terk's output jack was significantly
higher, so I wouldn't recommend the Grundig/Tecsun loop if you're going to
hardwire it to a receiver's antenna jack.

I thought the Tecsun looked much cooler, but the center-mounted tuning of
the Terk was much more convenient. In all, I think the Terk is the better
product, and it's noticeably cheaper than the Grundig/Tecsun.
