No, it’s not a GP5/SSB, but at less than half the cost it’s fine for general use.
Anna is first-rate to deal with, too.
Indeed she is, Ron! I’ve only has excellent experiences working with Anon-Co.
You can buy directly from Anon-Co’s website, or via eBay.
In response to our post about the high-gain ferrite bar antenna for the Tecsun PL-360/PL-365 and CountyComm GP5/DSP and GP5/SSB, SWLing Post contributor, Ron, writes:
…and it’s worth it.
On MW there is a marked difference on both the low and high ends
of the band, just as the builder said, compared to the stock plugin antenna.
On longwave my local NDB BH went from being barely audible on the stock
plugin to being quite readable–well above the noise.
The seller replied to a question about it being shipped very quickly
since it never did track on USPS.
Good seller, reliable email, good antenna that works as claimed–no problem here.

Thank you so much for the report, Ron!
If you own a Tecsun PL-360, PL-365 or a CountyComm GP5/DSP or GP5/SSB, you might take note of this large ferrite bar antenna offered by a Greece-based seller on eBay.
As you can see in the image above, this antenna is substantially larger than the stock MW antenna supplied by the manufacturer. According to the seller, this ferrite bar antenna has a 10 – 25 db gain over the stock external antenna. I imagine its ability to null unwanted signals is also much better.
The price is about $40 US shipped internationally.
