Today’s date is Dec 5, 2007. I ordered the “Terk Technology AM-1000 Advantage Passive AM Indoor Antenna” on Oct 25, 2007. Seems like a long time to me. Mike

Wanted the critter to function. Longed for decent AM reception. Sadly, despite use with several radios, including a GE SuperRadio, I could detect NO improvement with reception.
Nebraska, Missouri and California… used in each state with the same results.
Portable radios, large shelf receivers, separate tuners… the Terk did nothing for me.
Hooked it up two different ways with no luck.
Fiddled about, fiddled about, fiddle… fiddle. fiddle… with the Terk’s passive tuner knob and though it helped make a station be heard better the improvement was no better than reception obtained when the Terk was not attached or in close proximity.
Me wonders if those lauding the device are not deluding themselves in some way due to my years of use at several venues with nary any success in AM broadcast reception improvement.

I bought it to use for my local AM Station. Car radios no problem for 550. In-door high grade Sony receiver no station. With Terk Technology same result. Similar type from Radio Shack pick-up station 550. Therefore Terk is worthless. Where do I get a refund?

I bought a terk antenna to try to boost the AM reception of my long range radios, which I use in the UK to get medium wave from the Irish broadcaster RTE. (I have both the CC Radio plus and the GE Superadio). The Terk antenna makes absolutely no difference to the GE Superadio and actually disimproves the Sangean CC Radio. It does not do what it says it should at all. I would not recommend you bother with it. Just get a long wire and hang it out the window of your house and you might do better. PS – in my experience in the UK, the GE Superadio completely outstrips the Sangean radio for station reception – it doesn’t have the sleek looks or the digital tuning, but if it’s reception you want, get a GE radio.

I tried using this on several different radios. I did not get an improved reception on any of them.
