📡 Enhance Your XM Radio Reception with the Terk Audiovox XM6 Outdoor Home Antenna Review

I have a Pioneer Xmp3 and use it in my cars, bedroom radio and living room stereo. The sound quality wasn't very good due to the small antenna and the fact that the room faces north. I bought this XM antenna and installed it on the roof, easy installation, routed cables and connected. It came with the cable connector needed to connect to the XM Home Dock. Now the sound and signal strength are clear and strong, I am very satisfied. If you are a fan of XM music I would take this.

I had either no reception or only 1 bar in my family room where my XM receiver was located even though that room was on the south side of the house. I installed this antenna on a roof ledge in the southeast corner of my house, then routed the RG-6 under the fairing through the existing cable TV hole into the house and to the docking station. The antenna comes with an adapter to connect the RG-6 to the docking station. When I connected the receiver I had a signal strength of 100% and it has…

My Delphi SkyFiII home antenna wasn't working through our windows (low level?) or outside walls (brick?) so we didn't hear the XM indoors for 4 years. This year we decided to do something about it and got this antenna, recommended 50ft cable with the included amplifier and an XM range extender from Revain. The hardest part was running the cable from outside the house through the attic to the room where we wanted to place the extender transmitter. I've tested the signal at every step of the…

I hope my learning experience will help you avoid the problems I had. Bought this antenna to bring my Audiovox onyX XM radio home from the car. Used the Audiovox Xpress Universal Home Kit and encountered a few obstacles to consider when planning the installation. First, use RG-6 cable, not RG-59 cable that is used for regular cable TV installations. Next, you will most likely need a line repeater for any distance over 50 feet. I used the Terk XMAMP18 which is designed to boost the onboard RG-6…

The antenna that came with my XM radio has a miserable 0-1 band where my home office is. So I bought this and installed it behind an upstairs south facing window. Full signal! Boom! Excellent goods; but the description of this is somewhat missing - I had to go through the manufacturer's website, which helped in a way, but not quite. Based on the Revain images for this antenna, it looks like it MAY contain an RG6 video cable. This is not the case (this information was found on the manufacturer's

So in April I ordered this XM antenna from Revain to set up the radio in my new house. Didn't have time to unpack until last weekend 12th June - outside of Revain's return period. After 2 hours of fuss - it worked, and for about an hour there was XM reception. Then he stopped receiving the signal. Spent another 3 hours comparing it to my XM indoor antenna outside (weather was dry). The indoor XM antenna worked perfectly - Terk once worked for 2 minutes in a position that introduced severe…

I have installed two of these antennas at home and am in the process of installing a third. I have read other reviews on the Amazon site for this antenna and will look at some of the more common comments. Buy your own coaxial cable (RG6 quad shield) from a supplier online or near you. Learn how to use coax tools. I recommend purchasing a compression tool and a coax cable stripper, available from Home Depot under the Ideal brand. Also buy a supply of coaxial connectors. DO NOT use old style…
