Does this antenna use a ferrite bar and amplifier for AM?

It is constructed of what I would say is like a circuit board material with what looks like an integrated weaving of a circuit type system similar to a rear window defroster on a car.....as far as any type of wire winding in the unit ...without taking it apart I don't see it...Hope this helps

A ferrite bar is not a part of this. I do find you need a good ground for best result.

This type of antenna is for FM reception only....look for an antenna specifically for AM reception.

It comes with magnetic antenna. There is also an antenna connector, not sure if this will support coax cable

No, the SqueezeBox Radio has no AM/FM antenna nor tuner. This is a server only based streaming player.

Yes, it does. My FM stations tune in beautifully, and this is without fully extending the antenna wire.

It has an external AM antenna, but no terminal for connection of any other antenna. It has digital tuning and a power jack for the supplied ac adapter.

It must be the lead wire that is part of the head set for FM. The AM is built into the radio. I don't see anything else. This radio is used for hours every day and has a good signal here at the house.

I plugged my receiver into a cable jack after installing this on the roof and I got amazing reception of FM radio. Don't know about AM. An antenna doesn't discriminate the signals being received, for the most part.

Yes it does require and am/fm external antenna and a satellite antenna if you are going to use the sirius option

No. Antenna only. But uses standard F connector cables which you can get from Radio Shack or if you want better quality for less, Amazon.

No. It's a telescoping whip antenna. The ferrite core antenna is inside of your radio and is for the AM band. You may want to add an external (outside) antenna if your radio has a jack or terminals for one or you could wrap a few inches or so of a 6' piece of wire around the existing whip and drape the rest around or out of a window. If your radio has a very short antenna then this replacement antenna may help if it attaches the same way as the existing whip. If your radio does not have a whip antenna the antenna is the radio's power cord so you can move that around or move the radio to a different location and that may help.

The Antenna I purchased came with the amplifier. Check and see what the model you are looking at states as some do not come with the booster.

Don't really know for sure, seldom use it, but when axdently hit FM it seems loud and clear, but AM is spotty and reception is about a C +.

Hello Gloria, The radio has a built in antenna but it also comes with a wire FM antenna if it is needed. External AM antennas are sold separately if you find you need one.

Sorry - I can't help. On both radios the FM and AM antenna hook ups are separate and I have it only hooked to the FM port. There may be a connector that allows this for both frequencies.

Yes, it is a AV receiver, so it has FM/AM, they also supply the antennas I'd you choose to use them.

Yes. I only use this antenna for my AM-FM Radio. I replaced my telescopic antenna with the shark antenna on my Volvo S70. I plugged the red wire which comes out of the Shark Antenna ..to a positive feed. I've had this unit for over 6 months and it gets very good reception.
