About the Terk XM6

Matt Freeman
Terk's XM6 antenna gives you the strongest possible XM signal reception in your home, which helps maximize your enjoyment of all that great programming. Sometimes the indoor antennas that are included with dedicated home and plug-and-play satellite radios just don't get the job done — but with the XM6, you'll enjoy every second of the programming you paid for.

Terk's XM6 antenna gives you the strongest possible XM signal reception in your home, which helps maximize your enjoyment of all that great programming. Sometimes the indoor antennas that are included with dedicated home and plug-and-play satellite radios just don't get the job done — but with the XM6, you'll enjoy every second of the programming you paid for.

You can mount this stout, all-weather antenna on your roof or an exterior wall, with the help of the supplied universal mounting bracket and hardware. Just add a cable (see the "Accessories" tab), and your setup is complete.

Note: To receive the satellite radio signal, you must also have an XM radio and a subscription to XM.

Features

Overview: The TERK XM6 is the perfect high-performance antenna for your XM home receiver or Plug & Play system. The XM6 outdoor satellite radio antenna is a low-profile, high-performance antenna designed specifically for XM Satellite Radio reception. The XM6 has a universal mounting bracket that can be installed to a wall, roof, or mast (including a satellite dish mast). The antenna itself has a threaded F-type coaxial connector designed for use with a standard RG-6 coax cable (not included). The included F-type to SMB adapter plugs into the XM tuner. Terk recommends not exceeding 100' cable length without a line amplifier.

System Requirements: In addition to this antenna, you must have an XM tuner and subscription to XM Satellite Radio to receive XM programming.

Compatibility Note: The XM6 is compatible with the XM Direct 2 Home Tuner, which is used with XM Ready home receivers. The XM6 plugs directly into the XM Direct 2 Home Tuner using the supplied F-to-SMB adapter.

Q
We got a new Sirius Home Radio, Where we have it the cord is to short, will this Terk antenna have a longer cord than the standard home antenna it came with?

You can run a RG6Q coaxial cable and terminate it with F-Type connectors. Make sure that you get the amps/booster otherwise you might run into a signal loss issue.

I had a power surge that ruined my xm radio. Could it have effected my Terk XM6 antenna? My new xm radio does not work with the old Terk antenna.
