Noticeable Enhancement November 11, 2008
I purchased this antenna for use with my Superadio. It does provide s noticeable improvement over reception without the antenna. In an area with high levels of interference, this antenna does a good job of cutting through the high pitch whistle. It also does boost the strength of distant signals, but it is no replacement for a good radio with a ferrite antenna.
 AM Advantage Indoor Antenna October 31, 2008
Works great! Makes weak stations usable. With Zenith Trans-Oceanic works best with external cable plugged in. With cheap radio, works best with loop antenna at right angle to internal ferrite antenna. Tuning dial on antenna critical, good calibration of dial. During evening and early morning weak station sound like local.
Excellent performance September 20, 2008
I have a Icom R75 receiver and the loop antenna works well with this combination. Long wire antennas tend to be noisy and of course are not directional so the loop solves all those problems. 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. She said the old one looked like it came off a World War Two bomber. Performance of the Terk seems just a bit better than my old loop and the construction is excellent.
Solid product, no need to plug into radio September 2, 2008
I bought a radio/CD player (admittedly, pretty cheap - but it looks nice in my office) with no inputs for an 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 figured I'd have to return the radio, but then came across this Terk antenna. I wasn't ready to believe that you didn't need to plug it in - but you don't. 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.
Happy with the improved reception August 23, 2008
Ordered this to get better reception on the AM dial. I listen a lot to talk radio. Works great! Local stations are coming in better than what they were with the generic AM antenna and I am now also able to pick up stations at night that are hundreds of miles away. Having to use the tuning dial on the antenna when changing stations doesn't bother me. Though I have noticed with the stations I listen to that the frequency markings don't line up with where I get the best reception (I've tended to get the best signal at about 100KHz below the actual frequency), so some tuning by ear is required.
