Comments about Terk Technologies AF-1 AM/FM Q Amplified Indoor AM/FM Antenna:
I use this in the home where no access to windows and heavy foliage surround the outside of the house. The antenna brings in all channels perfectly where before I could only get 1 with static. The ability to tune for better signal on a particular frequency is nice too. Great product.

Comments about Terk Technologies AF-1 AM/FM Q Amplified Indoor AM/FM Antenna:
No value whatsoever:
1. The 115 volt power supply transformer input had an open circuit. No output. A regulated substitute of the correct polarity functioned very poorly for only 3 minutes before smoke issued from the FM connector assembly. The good news is that it can be used as a paper weight. If a wiring diagram was available, perhaps a repair could be made. But, in view of all the poor reviews, would it be worth the effort? The performance of the AM section was marginal. The poor quality and performance of this antenna detracts from Terk Technology otherwise good reputation.

Comments about Terk Technologies AF-1 AM/FM Q Amplified Indoor AM/FM Antenna:
This purchase was a total waste of money. If this was priced at $5.00 and had this type of bad reception, I wouldn't care. But when it cost ten times that much and still performs terribly, I become convinced that I have been ripped-off. This is the worst product I've seen in quite a while.

Comments about Terk Technologies AF-1 AM/FM Q Amplified Indoor AM/FM Antenna:
The FM component of the Terk AM/FM Q Amplified Antenna works about as well as any other FM antenna, and the AM component does not work at all. I live in NYC and the antenna failed to pull in one AM station. I returned this antenna and replaced it with separate Terk antennas, one for AM and one for FM, which together cost less and functioned much better than this model.

Comments about Terk Technologies AF-1 AM/FM Q Amplified Indoor AM/FM Antenna:
WE live in the Rockies on top of a mountain and got only marginal signal prior to getting the Terk. We still live in the Rockies and still get marginal signal. Not much improvement,even with antenna mounted outside with no obstructions.

I use it for FM reception in a lower level entertainment center and have used one also at ground level. I'm able to receive all regional stations with excellent reception using the Terk. Without the Terk I get one station - with interference.
