You will have a hard time improving on the performance of a wire loop or dipole antenna, so you do not need to spend much to obtain an excellent antenna. What you may get with the expense of an indoor amplified antenna is a more convenient antenna that does not take up the space of the wire and can be more easily reoriented. The included amplifiers are intended to compensate for the inferior performance. Adjust your expectations.
I work in an office in New York City. My favorite classical FM station switched to a new frequency with a weaker signal and I couldn't get it at all. I plugged in the TERK, turned up the gain and the station came in load and clear. The only downside is that, being in a hurry, it cost $60 with tax in Best Buy.
It brought in some am stations that i had trouble getting.It did okay but I thought it would be better.But, considering the building that I am in It works well.Thank You.
A simple drop down wire antenna supplied with my Polk radio does a better job than this amplified antenna. I spent a good hour trying various locations, placements and wire separations, all to no avail. An old boom box radio with a stick antenna picks up the signals better than this does.As others have said, why would this company sell such a product.
Attached to my Sony HD and powered it up. Stations that had been linking up just fine, dropped out. Tried different positions and gain settings, but no dice.Looks as if Terk is selling something that looks good, but doesn't perform.
