The Terk AM/FM Tower is a high-performance antenna that is ideal for anyone who wants superior short and long-range radio reception.
- The Tower is designed to be an omnidirectional or directional antenna.
- When placed vertically, it equally receives signals from all different directions.
- When placed flat, the antenna becomes directional and can be pointed at hard-to-get stations for better reception.
- Built-in Amplifier: The Tower's built-in amplifier strengthens weak and distant signals giving you greater control over the quality of your reception. The Tower uses active amplification to boost FM signals (+10 dB minimum). AM gain, fixed at +15 dB, is achieved through a passive (non-amplified) antenna element.
- Air Coil Technology: The Air Coil technology isolates the AM and FM elements from each other, for increased radio reception and minimized static and noise.
Installation: The antenna comes with everything necessary for installation, including a non-skid, scratch-proof pedestal, and a universal slip-on connector and matching adapter so you can use the Tower with almost every receiver, tuner or compact music system.
