Kaito AN-200 Tunable Passive AM Antenna Review

I had a 100 foot long wire AM antenna previous to the Kaito, and it produced terrible interference and crosstalk on many stations. This Kaito antenna totally cured the problem. The stations come in without interference, and I am able to receive some stations that the long wire would not pull in. It's a minor inconvenience to have to rotate and tune the antenna for each station; the results are worth it. My only complaint is that the lead in wire is very short, about 3 feet. I extended it with a stereo headphone extension cable from Radio Shack, and it works fine, even with the extra length. If you're looking for an antenna to improve your AM radio reception, I would recommend that you try this one. It works better than I had hoped. Kaito AN-200 Tunable Passive AM Antenna

Product Description:
The Kaito AN200 tunable indoor AM loop antenna can dramatically improve the reception on AM (Medium Wave) stations throughout the entire AM broadcasting band. This AM Antenna enhances reception as well as adds clarity to the ferrite AM antennas that are included with all home stereo receivers and portable radios. The AN200's loop design offers you the reception that normally would only be achieved with a very long wire hooked up directly to your radio. With the AN200, it will work on all portable radios without wires attached.The Kaito AN200 features a built-in tuning dial that allows precision tuning to the appropriate station and the selectivity to block out unwanted stations and noise; which without the antenna would crowd or "bleed" into the desired signal. The antenna can also be adjusted by physically turning the loop in the direction of the station's broadcasting and pointing it directly at the station. One of the best features of this antenna is the possibilities of using selective tuning, loop adjustment and radio dialing. The AN200 Loop Antenna will give you an added dimension to your AM radio by giving you better reception, clearer sound, better clarity of the stations you already get and enhancement of stations that would otherwise be drowned out.The Kaito AN200 AM Medium Wave Loop Antenna is a passive (NO power requirements) radiant device that works by either placing it next to the portable radio's internal AM rod antenna or by connecting it to larger desktop radios that have AM antenna terminals by using the included 1/8" to bare wire cable.

Terk Hdr-I High-Definition Indoor Radio Antenna Review

My HD radio is a Sony XDR-S3HD. So this comparison is only true for this radio and my location (just north of Washington DC). I tried the accompanying wire and dipole antennas first, and then tried this Terk HDRI Antenna and a Philips Magnavox MANT-110 Indoor Passive Antenna. The Terk box says it is specifically for HD radio. The Philips box says it is for VHF/UHF/FM/HDTV.

The dipole worked best overall of the two included with the Sony but I experienced a number of drops when there was movement, either by myself or even my cats, on the far side of the antenna relative to the general direction of the station's tower that I was tuned into. The Terk (with the gain set to the maximum) and the Philips both worked better in this regard resulting in practically no drops in the same scenarios.

The Terk costs 36.14 on sale; the Philips costs 9.99. So the Philips wins on price. Here's the shocking thing. When I tried to tune into WAMU-HD3 or WTOP-HD3 or WCPS-HD3, the Terk had trouble picking up the signal unless I was positioned just right in the room (for example, if I was 5 feet from the antenna but not 3 feet, or if my TV was on, or...). The Philips has no problem picking up these stations regardless! This makes the Terk very much a disappointment. The Terk did not pick up any additional HD channel 2 stations compared with the Philips (the ones I can't pick up currently on a regular basis are WWWT, WPGC, WBIG and WPRS). So if you're having problems with the wire or dipole antenna, then my suggestion is to pick up the Philips or some other cheap indoor FM antenna and forgo spending money on this overpriced Terk.

FM-02 Omni-Directional AM / FM Amplified Stereo Antenna Review

I bought the PowerQ portable HDTV antenna, and had great results with it, so I though I would try their FM stereo antenna too.It was simple to hook up and the reception was much better than the wire dipole that originally came with my Onkyo stereo receiver.Didn't make sense to use the cheapo $2 antenna that came with it, after all it is a $900 receiver.I was pleasantly surprised at the number of stations it picked up with ease.Plenty of quieting with no background hissing and noise like other antennas.I have tried two antennas from Terk with no luck. I highly recommend this product!

Terk FM Only Stereo Antenna FM+ Review

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.
