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.

Installed my old receiver in my garage,the only reception i get was AM and very staticky. Could not get the FM signal at all !!. The Best Buy associate Highly recommended this antenna and told me that they have a return policy of 15 days in case it doesn't work ( I am aware of this policy of course, having returned some items which were not up to my expectation with no problem yet ! ). I took this antenna home , installed same, and like I said " very impressive ". I now have both frequencies minus the static. I now have stereo music when i'm working in my garage !!!

I had installed a new tuner/amp tied into media center. I found the FM antenna provided did not work well. Purchased the TERK antenna system. Easy to install. Works very well.

I have been frustrated with the AM/FM Stereo Reception that I was receiving for my Phillips AM/ FM Tuner with CD And IPod.
While not perfect the Terk Antenna is significantly better. Still one day may find the perfect solution.

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 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.

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.

I like the TERK antenna it brings in local FM & AM stations with a clear tone.
The TERK is compact and the LED light shows me that the TERK is active a positive feature. I use the TERK with a small but quality radio for my office wit satisfactory results.

When I walked into the store All I knew was that I needed an FM Antenna for a legacy FM radio! Some where during a couple moves the original that came with my radio had disappeared. Streaming radio is nice but sometimes it is nice to power up an old radio to listen to the hometown news! I was in for a surprise with this antenna now I can pick up stations from Southern Kentucky to Memphis TN. So for a fraction of the cost of a newer less capable radio device I have an awesome selection of legacy AM and FM stations!

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.
