To use, tune to a very weak signal and rotate your radio alone for best reception

In some cases, it makes all the difference between a good signal and a noisy one.

I tuned the loop to the station I was listening too, the signal became clearer

Really helps to improve weak signal.

I bought this antenna to improve the reception of a AM Radio station that is 35 miles from here and does not have a strong signal

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.

This unit really improves weak signal performance.

It even seems to do quite well at being able to resist stronger signals that are adjecent to weaker ones

Now my signal is loud and clear and no static

The difference in signal strength isn't enormous, but it does make noisy signals a little easier to hear

Then find the station , like 750 , turn the antenna tuning knob to 750 , then rotate the antenna for the best signal

I bought this and it did not work on my home receiver which is about 20 feet from where I can get a clear signal in my car.

This product does NOT need to be plugged in, it only needs to be set on the radio, or close to the radio, then tuned with a tuning knob until the signal is strong.

I tried it on one of my small expensive radios with the great sound quality (Boston Acoustics), tuning in a very distant weak signal, but the product only gave a very small improvement.

900 Am, CHML, Hamilton, Ontario, every night, and the signal is much stronger and clearer now

I use it with the wires attached to the radio but it can be used placed next to any other radio to improve its signal

Hopefully when the broadcasters finally start transmitting HD-AM at night the Terk will provide enough signal to make it work

Signal strength and clarity of stations as far away as Chicago (more than 1000 miles from my location) is substantially improved.

It will even help get a weak signal thats next to a strong signal if adjusted correctly, you just have to play with it

It has a easy to use tuning knob that fine tunes the signal

I had to adjust both the physical location of the Terk and the dial for the best signal

If you're getting bad reception with this, you have interference affecting the signal

That antique actually gets a pretty good signal but the Terk now makes that signal louder and much

If your favorite radio station is a little too weak to hear clearly first adjust the radio to the best signal strength you can then use the Terk antenna to make it better

It will even help get a weak signal thats next to a strong signal if adjusted correctly, you just have to play with it

The Terk advantage took a barely understandable and really annoying signal on both the radios I mentioned and brought them in strong enough as to be almost static free

This is a very good antenna for improving weak AM broadcast signals.

I purchased this so I could improve the signal I received on a new AM radio.

the Terk has an extremely narrow bandpass -- you only have to move the loop's tuner about 1/32" (out of about a 2" span) to lose the signal

While the signal is audible, it might not be as pleasant as a local AM station.

The TERK-1000 is tunable and enhances the AM signal during the daytime, but nightime is another story

I know AM signals attenuate and degrade at night, but I expected this antenna, with its ability to tune for a best signal and incorporating the latest technology, to also enhance the AM stations at night

So this antenna indeed does me well when I can't get a far off signal very well from an alternative AM station offering a different progressive (for thinking informed aware people, not just the 2% who buy elections and who fool the uninformed, uneducated with their outrageous amount of (now) unlimited) secret corporate donations, contributions & ads that go to 96% republican.(ala Fox republican propaganda, it certainly isn't news, it's just regressives trashing progressive & Dems 24/7)

One of my favorite radio stations,WLS 890, in Chicago,which has always had a strong signal, was being "drowned out" by increased static

the signal was clear and static free!I tried the following Terk antennas below, but they did not work

They Receive usually-excellent AM signals with their BOSE Internal AM-Antennas

They all showed improvement in either hearable signal strength, less or no noise or hiss, and in the case of the RS, louder volume on weak stations without raising the volume

I even use it for aligning AM tuners for better sensitivity and selectivity when there is no signal generator available.

Daytime: at night the AM band suffers from too strong signals from too many stations, so raising the signal level is mostly unnecessary, and there isn't much

The difference in signal strength isn't enormous, but it does make noisy signals a little easier to hear

Really helps to improve weak signal.

so I just positioned the Terk near the radio and adjusted it for the best signal

Even at the window, I still could not get anywhere to a clear signal.

I just tune the antenna to maximize the brightness of the signal strength LED on the front of the radio.

My radio does not have a plugin to boost the AM signal, but the instructions say that you can place it along side the radio and it will work also

My new Bose Wave III radio's AM signal is somewhat static with some sports talk stations, so I called Bose C/S and was advised of this Terk AM Antenna

It made poor signals good and good singals great

Drawbacks: You might have to occasionally move it to find a better signal.

When the sun goes down and you can hear AM radio broadcast from a 1,000 miles away... this really helps boost those signals.

It strengthens the radio signal that it tunes in...it does NOT clean up that signal for you

Then, turn the dial on the antenna until the signal is strongest

Then experiment by moving the antenna around your radio until you get the best signal

Tip: If your radio happens to have an antenna gain control (like my Sony ICF SW7600), an effective tuning method is to turn down the gain until you barely hear the tuned station, and then adjust the TERK frequency dial for the loudest signal

I hooked it up twisted it around and perfect reception, I can watch my S meter and the best signal is a little less then max s meter reading

The TERK works especially well with small cheap radios, often boosting their reception remarkably!NOTE: Many people are tempted to try loop antennas at night when distant AM signals are already typically strong

As soon as the Tuner got into range at 1000, the signal got progressively stronger as I turned it closer to 1150

But, then there's this Terk antenna that improves the signal on even my best receivers

It was a huge improvement but still had a little static, so I fiddled with the tuner a couple of seconds and got a perfectly clear, strong signal

Therefore, to really demonstrate the power of the TERK, try it first in the daytime on very weak signals

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

When placed next to a cheaper portable radio, the AM-1000 Advantage can boost the signal significantly for weaker stations

It does a great job clearing up the noise on the stronger signals

ANTENNA severs this progressive well bringing weak progressive radio signals in much stronger

As you rotate the TERK you will find that the signal will become stronger in some position, weaker in others

Need to boost my AM signal to my Model One radio

By adjusting location, direction and setting of the antenna, I can get a good signal for AM radio stations

If you hear loud buzzing or howling noises when listening to weak signals, you have EMI (defective radio possible, but unlikely)

For example, to pick up the strongest signal for AM 850, I have to set the antenna at about 920

Clear signal out of the mud!I use it with my Sony HD tuner, and it even helps to pull in some digital signals from out of town

This dial controls a circuit that provides a very sharp 'peak' in the signal strength - it is done this way so that you might be able to pull in a weak station next to a strong one by peaking the weak signal, which weakness the strong signal.

It will also "dampen" an extremely strong signal ( I live about 5 miles from WTAM 1100) for the best audio qaulity ever

I enjoy my radio station so much more now with the clear signal.

A good, large antenna brings weak signals in stronger

As you rotate the TERK you will find that the signal will become stronger in some position, weaker in others

This antenna is not powerful enough to pull in a very weak distant station, but will do a good job of improving reception and cleaning up the signal on local stations

ANTENNA severs this progressive well bringing weak progressive radio signals in much stronger

stupid" <G> ... more than the radio itself that makes a signal listenable.

So I guess it works as

The Terk advantage took a barely understandable and really annoying signal on both the radios I mentioned and brought them in strong enough as to be almost static free

Didn't boost my am reception as we had hoped
