What Are Active Loop Antennas?
A loop antenna is designed specifically for Magnetic-Field and rejects Electric-Field noise that tends to be locally radiated. This means the noise reception is far lower than your average alternatives.
Because of this, the GA-450 active loop antenna from Moonraker is ideal if you're looking for indoor shortwave reception. You'll find everything you need in the box to connect your GA-450 to your radio receiver or SDR.

Everything You Need to Know About:
The Ring
The ring of the loop antenna itself is 20cm in diameter and made from stainless steel. It's set up to support a frequency range of between two and 30 megahertz. This particular active loop antenna also includes the medium wave, which is between 522 and 1,710 kilohertz.
The Base Unit
As with any loop antenna, the GA-450 comes with a base unit. This is where the loop attaches, and it contains the electronics needed to make the antenna work. In this case, the electronics include a 1,000-milliamp rechargeable lithium battery. This is sure to keep your antenna working throughout the duration you need it, and its rechargeability makes it a reliable choice.
The base unit’s standard rectangular shape means that you'll find ports and switches on either end. This makes it straightforward, especially when it comes to setting it up for the first time.
On one end, you'll find the USBC port and the BNC output. The USBC port is where you can charge the battery of the loop antenna to ensure it is ready to use whenever you need it. The BNC output is how you can connect your GA-450 to your receiver to set up your radio fully.
Finally, the opposite end of the base unit is home to the rotary on and off and gain controls. And even better, you'll also find a red LED light indicating when the base unit has power.
