4.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it's supposed to do, July 31, 2004

This antenna is designed to be a step-up from the wire antenna that likely came with your system. I use this in a high rise apartment with a steel frame, which wrecks havoc on FM signals. The Terk FM+ does not pull in stations from miles away that you normally wouldn't receive, but local stations that I previously had difficulty keeping static-free now come in crystal clear. If you're looking for an improvement to stations that are within range but need a little improvement, this product is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent antenna, December 4, 2005

If you already have antenna, this may not be product for you. If you have just piece of wire as FM antenna that usually comes with receiver, then you should get this one. It's nice little multidirectional antenna. I think it works the same or better than T type antenna. So if you need FM antenna and you live in the city, this is the one to buy. You may consider active FM antenna if you need to amplify FM signals. In my case Terk FM+ worked just great.

This review is from: Terk FM Only Stereo Antenna FM+ (Electronics)

A few months ago I moved to a new apartment - less than five blocks away from my old one. The radio reception in my new location as I discovered though was terrible! Who knew a few blocks would make such a difference?! I looked around at a few different options. I wasn't willing to spend a ton of money because I really don't listen to the radio all that much. Although I had not previously heard of Terk, they seemed to have a good reputation. I settled on the FM+ Indoor FM Antenna for both its price and the Terk reputation. While it may be slightly better than the flimsy contraption that came with my tuner, I didn't find it to be the savior I had hoped for. I still can't get in the station I really want and some others are hit and miss (I was able to tune in these stations at my old apartment). Perhaps I'm just living in a bad area for reception.
