I bought the Terk antenna in an attempt to pick up some AM and FM radio stations I was struggling with on my new bookshelf stereo system. Perhpas because of my apartment building, or the quality of the stereo, the antenna didn't offer me much success in picking up stations any better than the factory-provided antenna. I did notice improvement in the static (or lack of it) on stations that were already tuning in fairly well (they went from great to excellent), but the stations that were tuning in "poorly" got no better with the Terk antenna. Overall, it was probably not worth the money paid.

We purchased this two years ago for the same price and have felt ripped off ever since. I can't believe it is still on the market. It does not do what an almost $80 piece of equipment should do. It barely improves the reception. Keep shopping for a better quality antenna. There is no "Pin-Dot Pre-Tuning" with this hunk of junk.

Got this, it added nothing to the simple wire that came with the radio. I got a more substantial wire antenna ... at [local store] that did worlds better than this.

I bought this antenna to replace a Terk tower antenna I had in my office that wasn't able to pick up AM stations very well. It turned out that I was MUCH better off with the tower. This thing didn't pick the AM stations well at all. I immediately returned this thing and went back to the tower.

This product was not very good at all. I live in North Jersey where the signal for common metro area stations are poor. My car gets better reception than this antenna. This was not a good product. I wouldn't reccommend it to anyone. I only give it one star because I cannot give it a lower rating. Otherwise I would give it a ZERO.
