Terk XMicro XM Satellite Radio Antenna XM

Strengths: Size of the antenna is a huge plus; length of the cord will allow placement nearly anywhere on the car.

Weakness: Only a single input antenna, requires a splitter for use with older tuners.

I picked up this antenna a few days ago and I am pleased so far. The only downside was that I had to pick up a splitter to use it with my older Pioneer XM tuner. Once I had the splitter, the connection was simple and straight-forward. Preferred antenna place is indicated on the packaging. A minor drawback could be the cord. Depending on the antenna placement, the cord would be exposed and can be caught by the wind or an object potentially dislodging the antenna.

Terk XMicro XM Satellite Radio Antenna XM

Strengths: Ultra small profile, less than half the size of the standard XM "low profile" antenna

Weakness: Pink Connector needs to be trimmed or removed to work with the Roady or Roady2.

The Terk XMICRO is a high quality product with performance that equals or exceeds the standard XM low profile unit. I was amazed how small this thing is...it was purchased on line. The magnetic mount is strong and has tiny rubber feet to maintain an air gap between the antenna and your car's paint surface. So far, signal strength is the same or better than compared to the included antenna with the Roady. This is a great antenna for you to enjoy satellite radio in a second car.

Terk XMicro XM Satellite Radio Antenna XM

Strengths: small antenna head

Weakness: connection to/for the Roady 2

DO NOT purchase this item if you have a Delphi Roady 2. The connection to the radio is covered w/a pink hard plastic covering and the instructions APPEAR" to be easy enough.......it's not. I called Terk And they told me to cut off the pink covering....I did and even though it now works....it looks terrible and the XM Radio antenna has a 45 degree bend...this does NOT and some wire (insullation is exposed....I had to put some black electrical tape on the end to make it look 1/2 decent. DO NOT BUY.

Terk XMicro XM Satellite Radio Antenna XM

Strengths: Low-profile

Weakness: No XM Logo on the antenna

I really like the low-profile look, and I really like the magnetic base so I can mount it on the roof without drilling. It has an attractive black color and a very long cord, so I can hide it under the door jambs.
