I was so surprised how well this product worked. My reciever didn't get any AM channels,I bought this and Rush and Glenn came in clear as a bell. I'm buying another for another unit.

I like to listen to certain talk shows on AM radio, but live in a mountainous area about 30 miles from a relatively weak radio station. Before I purchased the Terk antenna the station had a lot of static and was hard to listen to. My radio does not have provisions for connecting an external antenna so I just positioned the Terk near the radio and adjusted it for the best signal. I had to adjust both the physical location of the Terk and the dial for the best signal.It is simple to use, and works for me.

Had hoped that this item with its generally positive reviews would solve my elderly mother-in-law's AM weak reception problem on one particular station that she listens to for hours each day, but it did ABSOLUTELY nothing. ZERO! Already had moved her radio to a more advantageous position in regards to the station's signal. Tried all kinds of positioning, two different high quality radios, and numerous tuning adjustments to no avail. Re-read the directions several times to be sure that I didn't miss anything.

This Audiovox product (made in China like everything else these days) is neat and sleek looking. It's obvious some other reviewers failed to read the owner's manual for this antenna before trying to use it. This antenna CANNOT pull in a signal that is not there. In other words, if the radio station is not beaming a signal to you, this antenna can't tune in the station's signal. It passively receives signals that arrive at it; it doesn't fly through the airwaves grabbing distant signals from outter space. According to the literature, this antenna is should help bring in weak stations that are no more than 50 miles away (and broadcasting in your direction).
Keep in mind, this antenna will make a weak AM radio signal stronger. If you hear a weak station with static, when using this antenna you will probably hear a strong station with static. It strengthens the radio signal that it tunes in...it does NOT clean up that signal for you. A good, large antenna brings weak signals in stronger. Think of it as passively collecting more of the radio waves that "fly" to it (imagine fly paper)...Proper TUNING is what clears up static (assuming your radio is of good enough quality to properly tune and separate frequencies).
In the box, you'll find basically 3 things. The tunable loop antenna, the instructions booklet, and the external connetcion wire.
The wire has a mini (1/8") male, mono jack on one end and 2 bare wires on the other. If you have a radio like mine that has a 1/8" female jack (as does this antenna) then this wire won't easily work for you. You'll have to splice a male 1/8" jack to the bare wires before you can plug it into both the radio and the antenna. I found this disappointing given my radio set up, but it may be useful to more peope the way it is.
The instruction booklet is in English and is simple and straight forward. A monkey in a space suit can understand the Owner's Manual (if it can read English, of course).
This antenna is better looking than the Select-a-tenna and is a tad bit smaller too.
Overall, I recommend this antenna as a low cost way to get better AM radio reception.

Not as good as I hoped. However, it is better than not having one.
