Terk SIR6 Sirius Outdoor Home Antenna Reviews
The terk antenna mounted on the roof of my home, helps the sirius sportster work perfectly, as advertised.
Things to consider between the 2 outdoor antennas (besides the price): Is the greater extension of the Terk antenna important for your mounting consideration (for example to reach out from under eves). The cable is heavier duty and the connection is waterproofed. and, Is the color important. As to whether it works better than Directed Electronics 14240 I cannot say. It does pull in signals better than the original indoor/outdoor antenna, even when mounted under similar conditions.
It works really well.I wish I would have researched it a little more before. I probably could have found a better price.But I am very happy with it.
It is a good idea to using the same brand cables/connections because they match brand wise. Most of the day it was only 1/2 to 3/4 strength on the meter. More depth in the music and I can say it sounds crisper. I was only getting full strength at certain times of the day. With a better signal you will also hear a richer sound.
Full strength over the course of the day with very few drop outs only lasting a few seconds verses up to a minute with the small one. I decided to upgrade after I had to take the mast down for a new chimney. The specs are the same for this older model vs. Enough to sound good but I wanted to put up a real antenna. I had the small window/outdoor antenna that came with my unit.
Wow was I surprised. The current antenna was mounted on a mast about 20 feet off the ground. Not all cables are made the same. I would highly recommend this antenna. the new one available from Sirius.
Although Sirius is no longer using this model, I wanted to use this one because I am also using the Terk 50 foot extension with built in amp.
Highly recommended if you have difficult reception at home. I put it on the side of the house after some trial and error signal searching, and its been consistently good since, even with considerable tree and leaf cover. Excellent product, so much better than that antenna that came with the receiver.
