Radio Shack Indoor/Outdoor Matching Transformer Review

Poorly engineered

★★☆☆☆
2.0

    Pros

  • Attractive Design

    Cons

  • Flimsy

    Best Uses

  • Attic/Roof Mount
 

"Agree with Paul the Handyman's review. Can be hand tightened only, because of the design, and if unscrewing the coax cable becomes necessary later on, the internal connections will likely rotate within the plastic housing and be broken. "

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Radio Shack Indoor/Outdoor Matching Transformer Review

Worked for me

★★★☆☆
3.0

    Pros

  • Easy To Set Up

    Cons

  • Worthless Weather Boot

    Best Uses

  • Attic/Roof Mount
 

"Converted old antenna from two-wire to coaxial cable... DTV reception went from weak to no signal to GREAT 'In The Green' signal...



The weather boot doesn't fit over coax cable end... so is only good if putting on your own connector... therefore it is worthless. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Poor Quality Product

★☆☆☆☆

    Pros

  • None

    Cons

  • Flimsy

    Best Uses

  • None
 

"The post on the thing turned when trying to tighten the wire connector to it, shearing the thin wire connections inside,making it useless. If you find yourself wondering why you have no reception after you just got through installing this, this would be your culprit. Don't waste your money on junk. "

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
