Product Description
Gamma Loop technology reduces noise for clearer reception Non-powered antenna replaces unattractive wire antennasOmni-directional or uni-directional receptionCan be hung on a wall or placed on any shelf with fold-out rear hinge
Amazon.com Product Description
Based on the common-sense notion that stereo owners want to listen to music, not static, Terk Technology's AM/FM+ antenna is an ideal fit for casual and intense music fans alike. The antenna, which connects to virtually any radio or receiver, captures a crisp, high-end signal that far surpasses those of in-the-box competitors. Most receivers and rack systems come with "T" wire dipole antennas for FM reception, which provide marginal reception at best and are highly susceptible to noise and interference. The AM/FM+, by contrast, is omnidirectional, meaning it receives signals equally from all directions to ensure topnotch reception wherever your equipment is located. In addition, the device incorporates specialized noise-reducing elements to trim static to an absolute minimum, so listeners can enjoy clear signals from as many stations as are within range. The AM/FM+ is simple to connect and use--just plug it into your radio or receiver and you're set. The device comes complete with matching transformers for 75 ohm and 300 ohm antenna inputs. In addition, the AM/FM+'s compact design blends with almost any décor. Listeners have the option of placing the antenna on or next to a component or mounting it on the wall. The latter option not only offers a unique look, but it may improve reception as well. It also separates the antenna from other audio components and electronics, which may reduce noise and interference. What's in the Box
AM/FM+ antenna, 75 ohm transformer, 75 ohm to 300 ohm matching transformer, user's manual.

 Simply doesn't work July 11, 2010
J. Palmer (Skillman, NJ USA)
Don't waste your money or your time. This simply doesn't work worth a d**n. I only pull in a few stations with the internal antenna on my otherwise (CD etc) excellent Tivoli Audio. I bought this because it was one of the few external antennas that offered both AM and FM reception. Unfortunately it doesn't improve reception AT ALL.
Better Without It. July 5, 2010
Ben Franklin (Minneapolis)
Well, not too much to say about this product other than the radio sounded better, with less static, without the unit compared to with it connected. I returned it the next day.
I live in the metro area where most FM radio stations come in very well, but a couple that I like can have some static from time to time. So, I opted for this unit as a relatively cheap way to improve radio reception. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. Reception was worse across the board with this unit compared to the simple wire provided by my receiver manufacturer (Sony). I think connecting this unit introduces more possibilities for signal interference with other audio components nearby that make it unsuitable to have anywhere near other audio components.
Bottom line: I would avoid if you have other audio components that will interfere with this unit and/or don't what to run a long cable to position this unit in a suitable location.
 Great product! April 10, 2010

This is the best radio antenna I have ever owned it gets both am and fm and I get Kwave and the fish with no problem it sounds like XM and I have the antenna next to my RCA indoor antenna for the TV and no interference to the TV or radio. I highly recommend it. I paid $19 and it went down win I wrote this review.

A disappointment -- The Terk Technology AM/FM Radio Antenna March 20, 2010
Derrick Bell (New York, NY USA)
The Amazon.com reviews of the Terk Technology AM/FM Radio Antenna provided fair warning. While a few were favorable, there were some who found the product useless. Regrettably, I must join the latter group. I tried the antenna on two FM receivers in two separate rooms of my New York City apartment. It failed to pick up any signals, much worse than a t-wire antenna on one receiver and a rabbit ears on the other. I am happy to report that returning the product to Amazon.com and receiving a credit for its cost was easy and painless.
