Terk XMICRO2 Single Output High Performance Roof Mount XM Antenna Review

Terk XMICRO2 Single Output High Performance Roof Mount XM Antenna
Average Reviews:

This item was purchased because the original antenna failed after 2 years because of a design problem allowing moisture to enter the antenna. This new version works well and may get even better reception than the original, but is smaller in size. So far it seems like a definite improvement over the original antenna that came with the radio.

Product Description:
XMicro2 delivers unsurpassed performance, and is compatible with all automotive XM Satellite Radio receivers. Measuring less than a half-inch tall, the TERK XMicro2s sleek, aerodynamic design hugs the roof or trunk of any vehicle and is virtually invisible when installed. The XMicro2 offers significantly enhanced functionality and installation versatility, thanks to its built-in FM modulator. This enables the XMicro2 to receive satellite radio signals and send them to the vehicles existing FM antenna, which then sends the signal to the cars head unit. This feature is designed specifically for the XM Roady2 and XM SKYFi2 XM Satellite Radio modules. This innovative design eliminates the necessity of using a cassette tape adapter to feed the signals from the XM Ready 2, or XM SKYFi2 receivers, greatly simplifying installation and eliminating the wires formerly required.

American International XM-2SAA XM Roof-Mount Antenna Review

American International XM-2SAA XM Roof-Mount Antenna
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a universal satellite radio antenna (universal in the sense it will work with either Sirius or XM satellite car radios).

I had to replace my antenna for my Sirius satellite radio as the cord had cracked and was no longer acquiring a signal. This XM version was the only one available at the store I was at, so I bought it, realizing that the antenna for XM and Sirius (now that they have joined companies), was interchangeable.

The antenna fit perfectly into my satellite radio, however, the reception of this antenna was inferior to the reception to my previous Sirius antenna. The 'bars', indicating signal strength, are usually only 1 out of 3 (rarely 2) and the signal, frequently cut out, even in very 'open-sky' areas.

Conclusion:

The reception was unreliable and sporadic. I would not buy this brand of antenna again.
