Question: how does it work in in proving AM reception?
Document: I did not want to rate this too low, as maybe the area i am in and the amount i was expecting this antenna to boost my reception was not feasible, but for me this did not help or work. It was easily to use and the design is pretty nice, however I was not able to get any stations on my receiver AM or FM any better than I was able to with out this.
Save your money folks. This product may work perfectly in the lab, but it's useless in a more 'ordinary' environment. I was actually able to get better recption by creating a 3 foot loop of heavy gauge copper wire (AM). Still haven't figured out what to do to improve FM, but that was the whole thrust behind the Terk.
This did not work under my environment. I have PIONEER SX-1300 which is old tuner and currently I am using cord antena for FM.I wanted to have better antenna with amplifier for FM/AM.Very nice delivery I was happy and put into the tuner, however signal is not improved and no AM signal and it did not work under thisold tuner. It may be fit well for newer tuner.....Just it did no fit to my environment.
This antenna does help but not a huge amount. I live at the fringes of radio reception and this antenna helped me to receive a few more stations and the reception is more solid (as in the stereo does not cut off as often). However, the reception is still static filled just more consistent. I suspect this product might work fairly well if one lives closer to the source of the signal and are just having problems with the metal in the building.
Product improved my reception and doubled the amount of AM and FM stations. I live in metro Detroit and works great and would recommend this product.
this amplified indoor antenna was a HUGE disappointment. I had better reception from my receiver without it. I could not get any AM stations to come in and the FM reception was very poor for most stations. Would never buy a Terk product again.
The antenna is used in a computer room in a building,which at the ground level is surrounded by other concreteconstructions, so there is a lot of distortion of incomingsignals.Before usage there was no AM reception, afterward there arefour additional AM channel. I am not entireley happy withthe result, because I cannot receive two channels of my interest.FM reception was enhanced as well.
If you want a decent basic antenna priced low this one will do. This is not a rooftop antenna remember that ... if you need one of those then spend more and get one. I had the best luck hanging this in the window. Also open up the two antennas some and you will get better reception on both AM and FM. You dont need to plug in to use, but the gain helps on weak stations and it is only on the FM antenna.
Solid job but not phenomenal. I expected all weak signals to be enhanced. At first it did not do any better than the free AM Loop and the FM wire. After being connected for a good length of time it brought in weak FM signals though it is still iffy on AM. In defence I live in a poor reception area. The test will come if I move to an area that needs signal boost but not as severely.
Most importantly, this antenna is coming with AM cable. You must properly handle this AM cable, or it will influence the FM reception. I put this am cable to the AM connection in my receiver, though I never listen AM.If you only have one connection(AM FM together in your receiver), I do not know where to put this Am cable.By the way, I got it $13 from Amazon. I think that so many negetive reviews make it so cheap.
Answer: Arlene, we've had very good results, in fact we have two, one downstairs in the living room with our main sound system/hdtv and one upstairs in our bedroom as same. No complaints here, and they have stayed on ever since we got them. As long as you can zero in on the station and the signal is moderate, it has been crystal clear reception. Hope that helps!
