Customer Reviews

good packaging, slick design, but does it do anything?
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.

Don't buy it!
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.

Simple Wire Does Better
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.
