Terk Technology AM-1000 Advantage Passive AM Indoor Antenna Reviews
everything Terk said it would do. The Terk AM antenna has definitely helped the reception, particularly on a station that used to come in with a lot of static noise. It has done.
In an area with high levels of interference, this antenna does a good job of cutting through the high pitch whistle. I purchased this antenna for use with my Superadio. It does provide s noticeable improvement over reception without the antenna. It also does boost the strength of distant signals, but it is no replacement for a good radio with a ferrite antenna.
Tuning dial on antenna critical, good calibration of dial. Makes weak stations usable. With Zenith Trans-Oceanic works best with external cable plugged in. During evening and early morning weak station sound like local. Works great. With cheap radio, works best with loop antenna at right angle to internal ferrite antenna.
Long wire antennas tend to be noisy and of course are not directional so the loop solves all those problems. She said the old one looked like it came off a World War Two bomber. I have a Icom R75 receiver and the loop antenna works well with this combination. Performance of the Terk seems just a bit better than my old loop and the construction is excellent. I bought a war surplus loop antenna in 1952 which was used on a World War Two bomber for navigation and it has worked well but the wife was very pleased when I purchased this new one.
You simply set the antenna right next to the radio, tune the antenna's tuner to match the station on the radio, and, at least for me and my single station, it comes in loud and clear. I figured I'd have to return the radio, but then came across this Terk antenna. My favorite local AM station was vitually inaudible, with a great deal of hiss and buzzing (odd, because a most other AM stations came in clearly). I bought a radio/CD player (admittedly, pretty cheap - but it looks nice in my office) with no inputs for an antenna. I wasn't ready to believe that you didn't need to plug it in - but you don't.
