Title: A Nightmare
Review: Have struggled with one of these for 2 years. (I am a huge fan of Terk products and own 4 of their radio antennas, by the way). This antenna requires a huge amount of space to be used properly; imagine a 5 foot diameter footprint; that is what you need. Once aimed it does indeed receive quite well. The problem is that it is an engineering nightmare and needs to be taped down otherwise it tips over if you look at it; no weight in the base. Another problem is that the cables are also a mess; they are stiff and never relax and straighten out, so they too do not help the antenna to stay in place and stand up. Add to all of this, it is a complete eyesore; ugly pile of clutter. I have replaced this with one of the flat rectangular antennas from RCA (in fact, I just purchased a second unit) and it is wonderful.
Is the review positive or negative?
