    This antenna brings in many FM/AM stations I never had before. Even stations broadcasting in different languages. I am very happy with this Terk Antenna.

    I do not reccomend it for older radios. It does not work that well and the instructions are very generic. I have an old school pioneer, the old school antenna worked better.

    The antenna is reasonably prices and was easy to install. I did have a bit of trouble figuring out where to plug in the electrical cord. The instructions were no help. I did finally realize the power connected to the plug that connects to the receiver rather than the antenna itself. Once connected, it was just a matter of adjusting the dial on the top of the antenna and perfect reception.

    We recently discovered a new favorite FM radio station. But, we are in Buffalo, NY and the station is in Southern Ontario, Canada. The plain wire antenna on our receiver just wasn't doing the trick unless you stood there and held it. This antenna works really well and we use it all the time. Once in a while, you lose the signal if you stand by it - but it's not a big deal. I haven't tried it for an AM station yet - but nobody listens to AM anymore anyway.

    Unit does increase FM reception a bit. The AM connections get in the way and the cord needs to be much longer. Price is fair but it would be better if it was less plastic and more powerful even if it cost more.

    I purchased this antenna because I could not get my favorite FM country station to come in on the new stereo system I purchased. The station came in perfectly in my car in the garage which was on the other side of the wall from the stereo. Once the antenna was attached the station came in. My only complaint is that I need to put a small shelf on the wall above the stereo to sit the antenna on to get the best reception. I am glad that this worked as it is the only one they carried in the store.

    I use this in an office which notoriously has horrible radio reception. I use it with an alarm clock radio. I am on the first floor and not near a window. Without the antenna I get zero stations. With the antenna I can get 3 or 4 *most* days. I wanted to give this 5 stars but can't because of the limited # of stations. This could be my building or where I sit. It was easy to hook up.

    The reception in my Fremont Ca. house has always been a problem. I tried a couple other antennas, One with and one without power. Both left much to be desired, like the obvious. I bought this Terk a few weeks ago and went from poor reception to very good reception. Definitely does the job. I gave it 4 stars because I believe there's always room for a little improvement in electronics.

    We moved to a new house in a different part of town and suddenly found that we had practically no radio signal. This item was recommended by a BestBuy representative, and I tried it. It definitely gave me better reception and I get more stations than before. But It does not seem to keep its reception consistently from day to day. It is adjustable both by moving the large outer ring and by turning the control knob. This helps somewhat, but again, it does not stay from day to day. Radio stations that were strong yesterday might be gone today even though I have not touched the antenna. Honestly, I suspect our location may require a larger outdoor style antenna.

    The device worked fairly well in my situation. Was attempting to get better reception of radio stations about 60 miles away from my home. The built-in amp and filter made my reception better and reduced the volume of static. Every situation is different; so, it may work for your situation as well.

    I bought this Amplified Antenna for my receiver. I live in Apartment complex and I was getting static from some of the Stations I wanted to tune in to. Since I connect the Antenna I must say I have no problems with static. Clear sound and stations not fading in and out.

    I was unable to get a usable signal on my 20 year old receiver using a dipole or any other passive antenna. Now I can get a half dozen stations, and most importantly my favorite station. The shelf price was about twice the price on Best Buy's Web site, but they matched their internet price.

    This antenna works better than the normally supplied straight wire or dipole you get in the box with a receiver but getting good FM reception is still tedious. Antenna placement, orientation and the tuning knob all have to be played with quite a bit and even then reception is not great for weaker stations - and for strong stations, you may not need this amplified antenna. AM is no better than just using a piece of straight wire. Was not impressed but still using it.
