Re: REALLY dumb question from a non radio guy.
It probably means the loop is not really tuned to null; instead it
is tuned -near- null, and is putting out just enough at 180 out of
phase with the internal ferrite to cancel out the signal

Re: REALLY dumb question from a non radio guy.
I am sure there is no 'auto disconnect' .... most receivers with the ferrite antenna that have external antenna connections will operate both at the same time. There are a few exceptions .... for

Did Terk clambrain it?
According to Terks website, and product brochure, the Terk AM
Advantage antenna is "omnidirectional". Is that true? I thought all
loop antennas were very directional. It IS a loop isn't it? It

Re: REALLY dumb question from a non radio guy.
Thanks, but what about my question regarding "auto disconnect" of the
internal ferrite bar? When I turn the loop to null a strong, local
station (I don't hear ANYTHING)doesn't that suggest that the

Re: REALLY dumb question from a non radio guy.
Okay .... I thought you were using a tuned loop. The loop you describe will be an inferior antenna to your built in ferrite rod antenna. It is designed for receivers with relatively high gain and no

Re: Terk AM-1000
Probably not unless you are willing to build it. If that is the
case you could likely build a much better antenna but it will be
larger.

Re: REALLY dumb question from a non radio guy.
OK, I hooked the loop (a cheap, simple little plastic thing that
comes with an am/fm hifi receiver for the am part) up 1 wire to "am

Find no. Build yes.
Probably not. What is your source? I had assumed the model was

Re: REALLY dumb question from a non radio guy.
The radio more than likely uses a ferrite rod antenna/front end inductor. If it has a terminal for the AM receiver it will in all likely hood be connected to a wire link wound around the ferrite rod.

RR,
AM/MW Loop Antennas: Your best 'connection' may be NO Connection.
Use the AM/MW Loop Antenna "Inductively Coupled" to the
Radio's built-in AM/MW Ferrite Rod Antenna.
IMHO: Most of the time

Re: REALLY dumb question from a non radio guy.
The only dumb questions are those that don't get asked.
Two ways to go:
(1) Antenna screw to a really long wire strung outside. Ground
screw to a cold water pipe in your house.
