- Owner's manual
Q: How does this connect? What sort of cable does it use?
A: It uses a coax cable for FM, and a 2 lead for AM. I haven't tried to connect the AM side due to limited stations.
A: it will not work on your clock radio, its a hardwired connection
Q: what distance will it pick up FM stations ?
A: For my install, it worked best when manually tuning in stations. When auto tune was used on my stereo, only about 50% of the stations were received. When manually tuned, every station within a 60+ mile radius was received. Obviously some were clear, no static or white noise, and others were better but not crystal clear. Hope this helps.
Q: Will this antenna pick up HD radio?
A: In a word , yes. I have limited stations to use here but the nomenclature claims that the antenna will dramatically improve AM/FM station reception. Superior audio quality and compatible with HD radio. Also states no antenna can recieve a signal that isn’t there. When a usable signal is present, this antenna will improve reception.
Q: Will this unit improve reception in a metal building
A: Yes. I have a steel building with this antenna sitting on the top girt below the top of the gable inside the building. I have a 400 watt receiver about 7’ below it. It works well for all but weak transmission stations. My favorite public station sometimes drifts a little but this gets it in a lot better than before. This is a powered antenna and must be plugged in to work.
A: Check the back of your machine. There should be accommodation for two types of antenna -- AM and FM. The AM is generally a pair of screws to mount the wires of the AM part of the antenna. FM might be a pair of screws or a cable-type screw-in plug. Either way, the TERK antenna will fit. The TERK FM portion will fit only a cable-type mount. But the package comes with a cable-mount adapter that has two wires for attaching to the old-style FM antennas with only wires. Just attached the wires of the adapter to the FM screws on your machine, and you're good to go with the FM antenna.
Q: The specs section shows the weight of this thing, but not the size. How big is it?
A: Unit folds flat and is 6" in diameter.
A: TERK - Amplified Indoor Stereo Antenna -Received very good AM, FM & FM stereo, on my Onkyo, sound system. I had tried another, but received an un-acceptable result. This antenna returned very good performance. Very satisfied.
