Locked 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

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

Locked 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

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. I did a Froogle search and best price was

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 antenna" and 1 wire to "ground". I tuned to a strong local

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

Locked 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

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. (2) Antenna
