Looks like Snake Oil to me? OTOH, If all your neighbors have them, perhaps they would not hear you in a fone? Maybe they would be good in our homes to cut down interference from plasma TV's? I think the price should be more like 49 cents which is probably what Amazon pays for them?

Plenty of one or no star reviews from engineers blasting this piece of crap as hokum, most of the multistar "positive" reviews are totally sarcastic tongue in cheek BS. It probably just a .05 microfarad cap, maybe they even threw in a surge suppressor.

Looks like another project from Bovine Scattology INC, offices in Washington, DC and Sacramento, CA.

My favorite comment:
As soon as I plugged it in, the voices in my head went away. No more urge to do the things I see in my nightmares. No more incessant screaming in my head. Just the silence of white noise that comes with peace of mi... AGH! The Voices! They're back! Someone must have unplugged it! I need to call home and tell whoever's there to plug it back in! Plug it back in now!

The owner of the company has youtube videos fear mongering and 'explaining' it. Don't waste your time.

Gruber wasn't just talking about health care apparently.

Some of the reviews are comical and surprising.

You cheepies!
You have to buy it to see what's in it.
Still reading the reviews. -- A lot of scabrous wit out there.

If you have a noise problem and want to eliminate it build a beverage for receiving. If you don't or won't do that you deserve the noise because it certainly isn't difficult to eliminate. When I first built my beverage and this isn't pretty BTW, I finished it during the bad or quiet part of the day for 80m however I plugged it into a digital rx I keep in my shack (DX360RS) and not hearing the usual rush of noise I always have decided it was a waste of time and didn't touch it for almost a year however left it as built. (I used my exercise program, Jumping To Conclusions)When I put up my long wire I needed to listen on something else for a minute and since it was still there pressed it into service. Wait a dang minute I thought. there is almost no noise but all the signals are there and strong. In fact many were not available on my other antennas. Now I use nothing else for receiving. I am still surprised evertime I use a different antenna on Rx even for a minute, how much difference there is in noise level and how much more I can hear on the beverage. (Probably simply because there is no ambient noise to speak of. )
