Product Description
The TERK FM+ is the ideal FM antenna for those looking to receive better FM reception from their stereo system. It is a step above the "low-tech" folded-wire dipole, or T-Type antennas that can only receive signals from the direction in which they are facing. The FM+ is designed to be an omnidirectional or directional antenna. When placed vertically, it equally receives signals from all directions. When placed flat, the antenna becomes directional and can be pointed at hard-to-get stations for better reception. With the emergence of new technology in radio broadcasting, the FM+ was designed to be digital broadcast radio ready. The TERK FM+ is a compact, easy to install alternative to the T-Type antenna that is usually sold with most stereo systems. The T-Type antenna often goes unused because of its cumbersome design, but the FM+ combines high-quality reception and design in one. The FM+ features TERK's Gamma Loop technology, which reduces background-broadcast noise for the best radio reception. With the FM+, you get great radio reception and installation versatility. The FM+ offers a standard mounting slot so you can mount the antenna on a wall, or simply place it on a shelf utilizing the swivel base for greater stability.

 Just What I Was Looking For. March 1, 2010
First Time (Houston, TX)
Bought this along with recent radio purhased. No problem getting reception in my office building. Does what it is suppose to do.
 comparable to old-school antenna - but nicer look to it February 28, 2010
Some Guy
don't expect a huge increase in power - but the price is good enough and the looks of it are way better than most classic antennas.
Finally a clear signal February 17, 2010
nocalalan (Northern California)
We ordered this in an attempt to receive our favorite Jazz station without the static that we had been living with the past few months. Immediately after unhooking the T wire antenna and hooking this one up, we got just what we hoped for --a clear, non static broadcast signal. The only problem w/ the antenna, as others have noted, is it's very small base which means that it can fall over easily. That was handled by putting a push pin in the wall and hanging the antenna to it. Good product at a very fair price.
 Worse than a cheap single wire antennna! February 10, 2010
ElektroDragon (Bothell, WA)
I bought this item to hopefully improve reception over the single wire antenna that came with my new Sony receiver. It actually made reception much WORSE. Stations that came in clearly are now filled with interference. Absolute garbage. Amazon should stop carrying this item.
 Useless in my case & product design flaw February 10, 2010

I gained absolutely no reception benefit in attaching this antenna to any of my systems. The first is a JVC receiver for living room, the other a Harmon/Kardon & Marantz in a home theater space.
There was no discernable difference between this product and the otherwise useless wire antenna. I wanted better reception of a station located about 50 miles away, but even the stronger signal commercial stations failed to benefit.
The design flaw is due to the unit's power wire emerging from the bottom of this antenna. This makes it impossible to set the antenna upright since the wire sticks out enough that it tilts over. They need either a taller base stand to accommodate for the wire, or design a space to tuck it in.
While I'm sure many found this product beneficial, in my case it's 1.5 stars based on inconsistent function, exaggerated claims, and misfit design. Returned with pleasure.
