Telescopic AM/FM antenna up to 9.6 inches
Product description
A telescopic AM/FM radio antenna can make a noticeable difference when you want steadier reception, especially as you move between rooms or change where your device sits. This YoiYee universal 4-section telescopic antenna is designed for flexibility, with an extendable reach that helps you fine tune signal strength. It is lightweight, compact when collapsed, and uses a 3.5 mm connector for compatibility with devices that take a 4-section antenna.
If your current antenna is short, awkward to position, or simply not reaching far enough, extendable options are an easy upgrade. The YoiYee model uses a practical 4-section build and collapses down to a convenient size for storage, while still extending up to 245 mm when you need extra reach. 🛰️ It is also supplied as a single unit per package, so you can fit it and test reception without any complicated setup.
Key points
This YoiYee universal telescopic antenna combines a durable build with a compact form factor that suits everyday use. The body is made using plastic and stainless steel, balancing longevity with a light, easy to handle design. At only 6 g, it is unobtrusive when fitted, and it is straightforward to keep as a spare.
The extendable structure helps you adjust your antenna position, which can be useful if reception varies depending on where the radio is placed. You can collapse it down for tidier storage, then extend it again when you want to maximise signal. Black and silver-tone styling also keeps it looking neat alongside most devices, rather than sticking out awkwardly.
One practical advantage is the standardised 3.5 mm connector diameter, which broadens compatibility for devices that require this style of antenna connection. That means you are not limited to one kind of radio build, as long as your device supports the same connector type and a 4-section telescopic antenna. ✅
It is worth noting that the antenna is supplied as a single unit per package, so you only receive one antenna for installation. If you need multiple radios covered, it may be better to check how many units you want to purchase.

What to know
A 4-section telescopic antenna is designed to give you more adjustable height and reach than a fixed aerial. That flexibility matters if reception changes when you reposition the radio, move between rooms, or place the device near different obstructions. In those situations, extending the antenna fully, then making small adjustments, can be a practical way to improve clarity. 🎚️
The collapsible length is also convenient in day to day life. When you are not using it, collapsing it to 80 mm (3.12 inches) makes it easier to store without it becoming a bulky item. When you need it again, extending to 245 mm (9.6 inches) gives you the extra length for better reception opportunities.
The antenna is designed around a 3.5 mm connector diameter, so compatibility depends on your device having the correct connector style. If your radio or receiver uses that 3.5 mm connection and expects a 4-section telescopic antenna, this should slot in with fewer worries. If you are unsure, checking your existing antenna connector size and section type is the safest way to confirm fit before you buy.
The combination of plastic and stainless steel supports a balance of durability and longevity without adding unnecessary weight. With a light 6 g build, it is unlikely to feel cumbersome once installed, and the black and silver-tone finish should blend naturally with many device designs. 📻
Care & maintenance
To keep the antenna working smoothly, handle it gently when extending and retracting the sections. The telescopic sections should move without forcing, and forcing can increase wear over time. If you wipe it down occasionally, use a soft dry cloth to remove dust and keep the finish looking clean.
Because the materials include stainless steel alongside plastic, it is sensible to avoid harsh abrasives that could mark the surface. If the antenna gets dirty from fingerprints or everyday handling, a light wipe is usually enough before re-extending it. Keeping the antenna free from grit helps the sliding sections maintain smooth movement, which is particularly helpful if you adjust it often during tuning.
If you are transporting the radio, collapsing the antenna first helps protect the sections from accidental impacts. That small habit can extend the practical life of the antenna, especially if it is frequently moved between locations such as home rooms, a desk, or a spare storage area.
Who it’s for
This antenna suits anyone who wants a simple, extendable way to support steadier AM/FM radio reception. It is a good match if you have a device that uses a 3.5 mm connector and you need a 4-section telescopic antenna rather than a fixed one. Worth considering if your radio sits in locations where signal can vary, such as near walls, furniture, or in different rooms.
It’s not for you if your radio does not accept a 3.5 mm connector or if it requires a different antenna type. It might not be a great match if you are expecting a full replacement that does more than improve reception, as this product is focused on the antenna itself rather than the radio electronics. You may want to skip it if you only need a permanently fixed aerial and never adjust your current setup.
