Q: My TERK antenna does not work with my boom box. What can I do?
A: You can only use a TERK antenna on a system where there is an input
for an external antenna. Some portable boom box radios do not have
such an input.
Q: Can I extend the wire on my FM antenna to place it on a window sill or
somewhere away from my receiver?
A: You can extend the wire with RG-59 cable and a two-way F connector.
These items are available at any electronics store.
Q: When I touch the antenna, it works better. How come?
A: When you touch the antenna and your feet are touching the ground, you are
acting as a giant antenna. You can only accurately judge how the antenna is
working when you let it go.
Helpful Information
About Your AM/FM Tower
Remember that no antenna can receive a radio signal that
isn’t there. When a usable radio signal is present, your
AM/FM Tower will improve AM and FM reception.
Note: Generally, a practical limit to radio reception is
40-50 miles from the broadcast transmitter depending
on the terrain.
Gain Control Knob:
Located on the front of the AM/FM Tower is the gain
control knob. The gain control is the mechanism which
either increases or decreases the antenna’s amplifier
intensity. The further away you are from the radio signal,
the more you increase the gain. If you are very close to
the radio signal, signal saturation occurs, lowering the
gain will decrease the amount of distortion.
