Rating: - A coathanger would work better
I purchased this antenna from J&R through Amazon.com. I have tried using it with my Grundig S350 radio, with my McIntosh MAC-4100, and with a generic radio. No better reception was obtained on any AM station and where fuzz was before, fuzz still existed. I have exchanged the antenna once to no avail. While the other reviewers sing praises about this item, I have been most disappointed in it. Based on my experience, I would not recommend.

Rating: - All Doubts Removed
I purchased this product from a local electronics chain store thinking I'd have to return it. However, help was needed! I recently purchased a "bookshelf" stereo system which came with the typical "foldable" antenna, and the AM sounded AWFUL! Once I hooked up the Terk Advantage, I noticed an immediate and dramatic improvement in the strength and static level for all of the AM stations I listen to. However, just to make sure, I also ordered a "Select-a-tenna", which had been mentioned by other reviewers of the Terk. In my situation, the TERK worked much better! My only regrets on this product...I could have saved a few bucks orderering from Amazon. The other reviewers were correct on the abilities of this product. Reviews go just so far. After all, there is only one real way to know if something like this works...try it out!

Rating: - Best AM Antenna I've ever used!
I'm a stickler for performance, and have high expectations for electronic equipment... especially when I hear fellow users raving about a certain product.

After getting the Terk AM Advantage to use primarily with my CC Radio, I have to say I'm not dissappointed. Giving it 5 stars would be saying that it goes beyond my expectations. The 4 star rating means that it comes pretty damn close!

Anyway, it does a fine job. The great thing, is that it can be used with ANY radio with or without external antenna terminals. I find it seems to work better without the hookup. Tuning the stations can be a bit tricky at times. The dial is slightly off and registers a station a few kHz higher than it is, and must be turned various ways near the radio to accurately do its job. It even seems to do quite well at being able to resist stronger signals that are adjecent to weaker ones.

For the AM DX'er, or lover of good `ol AM radio in general, it's an answer to a prayer!
