Works for Me
I live in a suburban area where reception from the nearest major cities (about 20-30 miles away) is largely blocked by a range of hills.
Although I did not try a simple loop-type antenna, when I connected this Terk antenna, I was able to get 4-bars (signal strength indicator on the tuner) out of five in broad-band mode and 5 bars in "Pin-Dot" (narrow-band) mode, on a relatively weak FM station I was interested in. I did not need to set the antenna gain on maximum in either case to get these results. I am satisfied that the antenna works well for me for FM in my situation.
I haven't used the AM antenna.

Not Sure What These Other People Are talking About...
I've used this compact antenna for years in a small apartment in NYC where signals bounce between the buildings and often cause an echo effect. It has worked very well. I do not use this for AM reception; I unplug it when listening to AM radio and use a passive TERK AM Advantage antenna, which I cannot recommend too strongly. Also, I've never tried to listen to an FM station farther away than Newark, NJ, so I'm not sure whether this antenna is really an improvement over the older TERK model it replaced, but there's no comparison between it and the T-shaped wire that came with the tuner. The sound is clear and static free, even during storms. I will admit that it is a bit of a chore to adjust the pin-dots every time a radio station on a different part of the dial is selected, though.

Not a good choice for me
This product was not very good at all. I live in North Jersey where the signal for common metro area stations are poor. My car gets better reception than this antenna. This was not a good product. I wouldn't reccommend it to anyone. I only give it one star because I cannot give it a lower rating. Otherwise I would give it a ZERO.

Doesn't really work
Didn't seem to make the FM reception any better, except for the fact that when I was trying to get the classical station from NYC, to my horror, I got loud and clear, the local Christian station. Not what I wanted. The AM reception was completely gone; I went back to the antenna which came with the Onkyo tuner, which sort of works. I didn't have much luck with the "pin the dot" tuning system. More gain just made it more static-y (with more pain).
Bottom line will be an attempted return to CC; we'll see how that goes.

Don't buy it!
We purchased this two years ago for the same price and have felt ripped off ever since. I can't believe it is still on the market. It does not do what an almost $80 piece of equipment should do. It barely improves the reception. Keep shopping for a better quality antenna. There is no "Pin-Dot Pre-Tuning" with this hunk of junk.
