But, it would also depend on the power of the transmitter, how the ions are lining up; etc. I prefer good roof mounted antennas, because you can tune/adjust the individual legs of the antenna. The TERK is an enclosed 6' by 1' ABS box, so any individual adjusting/tuning is not possible. I have no experience with this product, but negative experience with the amplified radio & TV TERK antennas, in general.

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.
