TERK's FM Edge antenna gives you the edge you need for exceptional short and long-range FM reception. Its compact, stylish high-tech design blends in with most every decor and makes it easy to install nearly everywhere. The FM Edge is engineered to provide music lovers with a truly advanced antenna system that is capable of pulling in more stations than conventional "all-in-one" antennas. In addition to its exceptional performance as an omnidirectional antenna, the FM Edge functions as a directional antenna. When placed horizontally, it becomes a highly directional antenna, and can be aimed at hard-to-get or more distant stations to zero in on best reception. Its built-in amplifier enables the FM Edge to home in on hard-to-receive stations and capture them with maximum signal strength. The amplifier's innovative dualdrive design filters out noise prior to amplification and can be adjusted to the optimum gain level for any weak or strong station.
