I recently read a review of the Terk FM50 Pro in The Audio Critic (I think it was issue 25). Peter Aczel can be a crank, but he knows alot about radio and did all the testing himself with a variety of tuners. His review was quite positive. Also, the reviews of this antenna on Amazon are mostly very positive. On the strength of this, I ordered one but don't have it yet. It can be used indoors or outdoors and has a 'power injector' accessory which some users reported they did not need.
I have been using a Terk AF-1 AM/FM indoor antenna for a few years. It is better than nothing, but not by much. I wasn't surprised to see the lousy reviews of it on Amazon.
I live in a community with a neighborhood association which frowns on rooftop antennas, among other things. I'd rather not get hassled by them.
