 Almost completely uselessOct 12, 2004
By Doug W.
"twinular"
I was fooled. I thought, "Oh, a vertically polarized, amplified antenna ought to work pretty well, at least a little better than the antenna built into the power cord of my tabletop radio." Well, folks, it doesn't. In a few minutes, you can make a very simple passive dipole antenna (i.e., a hunk of wire, basically) with a piece of 300-ohm flat twin-lead wire (you know, the stuff that's flat with two wires about a 1/4" apart in molded plastic...goes for about a dime a foot) that works better for FM. I know because I did a side-by-side comparison between the Terk and my homebrew dipole...the dipole pulled in the station I wanted in stereo while the Terk antenna could only get me a noisy mono signal at any gain setting. As a radio hobbyist (licensed ham radio operator), I am ashamed to admit that I fell for this one, so please don't tell anyone.

Doesn't work at allAug 16, 2004
By M. Speechley
Terrible. Tried several positions (flat and upright), nothing seemed to improve reception. May as well not have been plugged in at all. Let's say the 1 star is for the lighted green dial on the front, since I can't give it zero stars...

don't waste your moneyJan 05, 2004
By cleverer
doesn't work for me - i live an hour north of boston and an hour south of portland - not the best area for reception but the little wire antenna that came with my stereo works a lot better than this

If I could give this a zero, I wouldDec 25, 2008
By luconline
I bought this antenna today, because I was trying to improve the FM reception for certain of my favorite stations, without resorting to listening to them online, or spending lots of money getting HD radio. Well, this isn't even worth the plastic it's made of. I've never written a review on Amazon, but I don't want anyone to waste their money buying this. After fiddling with the antenna for a few hours, I decided to cannibalize another FM antenna wire (the cheap ones that come with a receiver), joining them together to make the one I'm using twice as long. Cost? $0.10 if I'm being generous. Result? Perfect. No static, no problems. Why buy this worthless thing? This antenna is going back to the store.
