Terk FM-50 Indoor/Outdoor Dual-Drive Amplified FM Antenna (Terk FM50) Review

Ihave a Yamaha HTR-5750 receiver which I was using with a Radio Shack FM amplified antenna.I had tried various ways of improving my FM reception including the classic 300 ohm twin lead folded dipole antenna.The rabbit ear setup helped but still did not yield satisfactory results.I still had difficulties receiving some nearby FM stations that were considered moderate strength stations.

I installed the TERK FM-50 inside my home hiding it behind a curtain valance.I did use the amplifier mode and was able to receive all of the FM radio sources listed on the web at the "radio-locator" service, some as far away as 30 miles.I was able to receive all of the radio stations in stereo mode with no evidence of noise.Previously I was unable to receive some of the stations even in non-stereo mode and several of the stations had objectionable noise content in the stereo mode. The stations range from very strong to very weak.I was able to pull one station rated as very weak from 22 miles.

Given my experience, I would highly recommend the TERK FM-50. It was a very simple installation.Since the actual antenna is protected by an outside casing, I was able to use the assembly in contact with drapery material with no significant degradation in performance.I appreciated the technical performance of the antenna and my wife appreciated the fact that I was able to completely hide it.
