I bought a Boston Acoustics Receptor table top radio. Excellent construction, quality, aesthetics and functionality. Very, very good sound (a little too much bass). It received very favorable reviews from what I`ve read. A solid table top radio.
I needed a new radio with a clock on my night table. The Tivoli clock model and Bose were the other ones I was looking at until I came to my senses and settled on the fact they weren`t in my budget.
However, to my dismay, despite excellent FM reception, the AM reception on the Boston Acoustics blows big time - total static on some major stations!
So, I need an AM antenna. I have the ability to unplug the built in one and plug in an aftermarket antenna. I don`t want to spend a lot of money.
I`ve been looking around and it seems like Terk is the main company out there.
I was looking at the Terk AM Advantage. I can get it for $33 shipped. But then I thought I might want something for the FM as well. However, there is one bit of criteria - the port to plug in the FM antenna is recessed behind the radio in a tight spot. The plug at the end of the antenna needs to be small enough to slip in (not some AC adapter like plug found on some of the Terks).
My question is, can anyone recommend a good AM antenna or an AM/FM antenna that won`t skimp on AM ability? Anyone use the Terk AM Advantage? I need something to really boost AM.
Thank you very much for any help.
