Solid product, no need to plug into radio 
2008-09-02
I bought a radio/CD player (admittedly, pretty cheap - but it looks nice in my office) with no inputs for an antenna. My favorite local AM station was vitually inaudible, with a great deal of hiss and buzzing (odd, because a most other AM stations came in clearly). I figured I'd have to return the radio, but then came across this Terk antenna. I wasn't ready to believe that you didn't need to plug it in - but you don't. You simply set the antenna right next to the radio, tune the antenna's tuner to match the station on the radio, and, at least for me and my single station, it comes in loud and clear.
Happy with the improved reception 2008-08-23
Ordered this to get better reception on the AM dial. I listen a lot to talk radio. Works great! Local stations are coming in better than what they were with the generic AM antenna and I am now also able to pick up stations at night that are hundreds of miles away. Having to use the tuning dial on the antenna when changing stations doesn't bother me. 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.
Unimpressed Massively, I am

Wanted the critter to function. Longed for decent AM reception. Sadly, despite use with several radios, including a GE SuperRadio, I could detect NO improvement with reception.
Nebraska, Missouri and California... used in each state with the same results.
Portable radios, large shelf receivers, separate tuners... the Terk did nothing for me.
Hooked it up two different ways with no luck.
Fiddled about, fiddled about, fiddle... fiddle. fiddle... with the Terk's passive tuner knob and though it helped make a station be heard better the improvement was no better than reception obtained when the Terk was not attached or in close proximity.
Me wonders if those lauding the device are not deluding themselves in some way due to my years of use at several venues with nary any success in AM broadcast reception improvement.
Good Distance Antenna for AM and HD

I selected this antenna based on the Amazon reviews, and I am quite satisfied with it. The antenna is well made and works well to bring in stations which were marginal. Distance reception is at best, variable, of course.

The Terk AM-1000 passive AM Indoor Antenna works Fair for local stations but at $39.00 is a little pricey.Probably should be priced at $20.00 TO $25.00 range.

Terrific Antenna 2008-06-22
I bought this antenna from an ebayer in California because Amazon cannot sell to Europe where the Terk Advantage is not available. I agree with all the other positive comments about it.
It works best during daylight hours, pulling in weak AM stations from transmitters in the UK, up to 500 miles from my home on the West coast of Ireland.
It does a great job clearing up the noise on the stronger signals. For anyone who enjoys Dxing or listening to AM radio, I would highly recommend the Terk AM Advantage.
Works as advertised 2008-06-15
My wife is a big fan of FM talk radio and because of this I purchased her a Cambridge Soundworks radio. This radio has great sound quality that rivials a component system. There are times when her favorite show is not available due to a ball game. Well, I found an AM station that played the same show at the same time frame but the reception was very bad and her show barely audible. After some research I thought I'd try this Terk AM-1000 and it works perfectly and now the AM reception is hardly indistinguishable from the FM station she was listening to. Of course, there are some drawbacks to listening to AM, such as interference when certain appliances are used, but this has nothing to do with the quality of the antenna. I use the AM antenna jack that is provided on the radio. The radio came with a small loop antenna which made me think initially I would be wasting money, however there is no comparsion between the two. Once you tune the antenna to the station you listen to the difference is obvious. Bottom line, it works fine.
Best bang for the buck by far. 2008-05-08
I am a talk radio junkie and I can pickup stations on AM over 200 miles aways during the day and well over 1000 miles at night.
My radio is a Boston Acoustic
Terk AM-1000t 2008-04-23
The Terk AM-1000 is well worth the money. I was very pleasantly pleased with the performance of this antenna. It allows me to listen to a marginal AM radio station loud and clear.
