XM was the only alternative when the last Classical FM station in South Florida was turned into a Hip Hop station. I love the service all except for the fly in the ointment that sometimes the signal is flawless and other times it fades in and out like an echo in the alps. I bought extensions to position the antenna in every possible angle and position with no success. I did a search yesterday after seriously considering tuning my XM receiver with a sledge hammer, and found this Terk on Amazon and had it overnighted. All I can say is for the first time in a year I have a consistent clear signal and uninterrupted music. I think part of the reason is that you use coax cable to connect it to the receiver unit; in my case the Polk Audio XRt12. I had been using the supplied cable and antenna which is thinner and smaller. Back to loving satellite radio. Highly recommended if you have trouble with your signal.

5Difficult location - excellent receptionAug 05, 2007
By P. Longfellow
Last winter we purchased an XM Roady for the car and a Home Kit for the house. We live in a canyon where the XM satellites are just above the horizon. We are surrounded by pine and oak trees. Signal strength from the supplied indoor antenna varied between one and two bars, but it worked well enough.

Well, it worked until the leaves appeared on the oak trees. The signal started cutting out. By late June we couldn't bear to listen to it anymore. I cut down a couple of small oak trees and the signal improved but still cut out enough to be annoying.

We purchased the Terk antenna rather than cut more trees. I hooked the Terk to a 50-foot coaxial cable and dropped it on the ground on the southwest side of the house for test. Went back in the house and hooked it up to the Roady Home Kit receiver and had the maximum four bar signal strength.

I did have one problem. When I decided to purchase the Terk antenna Amazon suggested I also purchase an XM EXT50 indoor/outdoor antenna cable. So I did. Turns out that is the wrong cable for the XM Roadie Home Kit. All I needed was a coaxial cable with two female connector ends.

5Terk Satellite Radio Outdoor Home Mount Antenna Works WellJan 09, 2007
By Ashley
I've mounted this Antenna on my roof and hooked it up to a repeater in my third-story attic using coaxial cable. The repeater sends the satellite signal throughout the house. This has worked very well. My satellite radio now picks up the signal anywhere in the house without a long satellite antenna attached to it.

By Ed W.
Got this over two years ago. Have it hooked up on my roof and connected to a Delphi repeater. Get great signal throughout the house. Even in the basement.

Will buy again if I ever buy a vacation house.

1Will not work with XM or newer Sirius radiosJan 03, 2011
By Rich K
Something that anyone that intends to order this antenna should be aware of: this antenna will only work with older Sirius radios. This was confirmed by Audiovox, the manufacturer of the antenna.

The older Sirius radios provided 6.5~7.0 volts D.C. to the antenna to power the antenna. The newer Sirius radios and all XM radios only provide 4.5 volts D.C., which is insufficient to power the antenna. I tried two of these antennas and could not get them to work. I thought they were faulty until, after numerouse calls to Sirius and Audiovox, I found someone in Customer Support at Audiovox that confirmed that the antenna was 'obsolete' and would only work with the older Sirius radios. Sirius has changed all of their newer radios to have a 4.5 volt D.C. output, just like the XM radios.

I ended up buying a Pixel Satellite Radio antenna which worked right out of the box. If you need an outdoor antenna for your Sirius or XM radio, check out the Pixel Satellite Radio antennas. They have several models to choose from. They're all commercial grade quality and will work with D.C. voltages from 4 to 7 volts, so they will work with all Sirius and XM radios.
