Terk Hdr-I High-Definition Indoor Radio Antenna

Does a wonderful job 2009-09-09

Purchased in connection with Sony tuner. It is working very well. It may be a little location sensitive but then weather seems to bother the signal of the HD stations I listen to.

I have a SONY XDR-F1HD FM/AM Digital Tuner that is HD capable. I can receive multiple FM HD stations using the passive "T" shape of deployed wire provided by Sony. Other stations that I wish to access are received by others in my area, using other antenna arrangements.

I ordered the Terk Hdr-I from [...].com (aka Atlanta Network Tech and a subsidiary of Audiovox). As this employs external AC power, ostensibly to amplify received signals and as it is marketed as being HD radio capable, I assumed at least some improvement. When I received the product it was packaged in formed plastic wrap. In order to see if the product could/would do anything for me, I had to open the wrap, which I did being careful not to damage any of the contents. After about an hour of testing, I determined that this device, attached to my radio and commercial AC power, did no better nor worse than the passive wire antenna. I carefully placed the components, still in pristine condition, in the opened, original plastic wrap and mailing carton.

In response to successive Emails to [...]and Audiovox, I was told that I could not qualify for an RMA because the plastic wrap was breached and the product was not fit for resale as new. If this isn't a classic "pig in a poke" situation, I don't know what is.

I turned to Amazon.com and they refunded my entire expenditure. What a difference in business practices.

The product may work for others in other environments but, this was not to be in my circumstance. The sellers were definitely not what I expect when I make a purchase. Amazon restored my faith in the marketplace.

Significant improvement with a Teac HD1 radio 2009-06-29

I live in the Baltimore, MD area and reception with the dipole supplied with the radio was questionable if I wanted to listen to the Washington based stations. I tried the Terk Edge and the quality improved slightly; however, only for the local stations. When I bought the Terk HDR-1 and tried it I could pull in all of the available HD stations in the Baltimore-Washington area. I would recommend it without any reservatons.
