Does anyone have feedback on the TERK Pro antenena


Application: Attempting to pull in stations approx 100 miles away. I have good visabilty.

All the terk antennas that I have used (indoor powered) were complete garbage. After using them for a year or so, I tried a wire hanger and actually got much better reception. I'm not sure of all their models but I believe the one I had was the Fam.
The problem with the Terk and simlar antennas is that they amplify the garbage as well as the signal, at least in my experience. The Magnum silver ribbon antenna I replaced the Terk with was far superior, and the outdoor antenna I got left anything else in the dust. Not sure how much any of this can help you though; you can get a decent FM signal from about 50 miles, if my car radio is any indicator, maybe a bit more in a very flat area (NW Ohio, perhaps--I recently drove from NY to Minnesota, and could catch Toledo stations and Madison stations reasonably well from about 65 miles away), as the FM signal can't bounce off the atmosphere like an AM one can and therefore can't go past the earth's curvature (or at least that's how I remember it).
The Pro was definitely better than the MD whip antenna. I live in Manhattan and just switched.
As Rarl mentioned, this is dependent on the power of the transmitter. If the stations that you are interested in don't have the power to get the signal to you, I wouldn't waste a lot of money on an antenna. The carrier frequency of the stations you are interested in will tell you what 'class' of station it is which can be used to determine what the maximum power of their signal might be.
