Customer Reviews
Just didn't work.........
I live in TX, about 80 miles from Austin and San Antonio. With a simple dipole antenna I can get about 3 reasonable stations on my Pioneer tuner. I thought I would try the Terk to see if a powered antenna would pull in a few more stations. Well, it didn't. In fact, some of the marginal stations that just weren't quite good enough with the dipole were worse or gone with the Terk. I fiddled with it over a few days, trying different times of the day, or different orientations ..... nothing helped. So I returned it for a refund. I think these units are overhyped. From what I've heard more people are disappointed than thrilled with the results. As always...."Your mileage may vary" but it was no good in my situation.
Improved reception remarkably
I know that people report wildly different results with this antenna, but I have to say that it did the trick for me. My CSW 740CD couldn't pick up any signal from my two favorite FM stations (88.1 and 90.9). With the Terk FM Edge both stations come in almost flawlessly. The antenna has to be in just the right spot, however. A few inches one way or the other makes a huge difference. Your experience may be different, but I'm happy with mine and the way it blends into the background due to it's small size and sleek design.
Not as good as a 3 foot wire :-(
I installed this on a jvc bookshelf system upstairs where fm reception is very 'hissy'. This antenna pulled in a lot of other stations (not necessarily well) while creating more hiss on the npr station i was trying to improve reception for.
the original 3 foot wire antenna provided by jvc worked at least twice as well as this powered unit.
I tried it on another system (aiwa) with the same poor results (the 6 foot long wire antenna worked better on that system too)
I would not recommend this unit. I am returning it to amazon for a refund
