The Terk tower antenna is a powered antenna intended to improve AM/FM reception. The practical range will depend on factors specific to your location, like topography, interference from buildings, and atmospheric issues.
Instructions
1. Determine the type of connection your FM radio uses. Take a look at the back of the radio. If it has a coaxial terminal--that's a jack which looks like the antenna input on your television--it's called a 75 Ohm Coaxial connection. If it has a place to connect 2 wires, then it's called a 75 Ohm Push Button Connection.
2. Make the FM connection. In the case of the coaxial connection, simply slip the antenna's connector over the jack. In the case of the push-button connection you will need to use the supplied transformer. Slide the red transformer onto the antenna's FM connector. Then slide the red wire from the transformer into the slot marked "FM 75 Ohm" and the black wire into the terminal marked "FM Ground" on the antenna.
3. Make the AM connection. Slip the antenna's bare AM wires into the slots on your radio marked "AM Antenna" If your radio has screw terminals, just wrap the bare wires under the screws and tighten them.
4. Plug the small end of the power supply into the jack at the end of the FM lead. Plug the antenna's power supply into a wall socket.
5. Locate the antenna away from direct contact with stereo equipment and close to a window.
6. Turn your radio on, tune it in, and adjust the gain control wheel on the antenna until the signal sounds undistorted. Rotate the wheel in the negative direction if you are close to the source, and in the positive direction the further away from the antenna you are. Play with it until the signal sounds right.
