Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

House is 40+ miles from the broadcast towers, there are hills and high rises in between, and i don't have roof access. Two are just under 50 miles from tx and both pick up the channels with no problem.

It works as advertised. Tried other antennas over the years. Powered and unpowered, the rca is the best option for me.



Cons

Quality of the antenna is substandard. No identifying info on product that remember, looks different from pic on box. Boxed everything back up and sending back today.

The coax jack breaks very easily when bolting it to the nuts so that made the antenna useless. The matching transformer is cylindrical so even without the rivet head, it would not sit against the beam securely.

Highlights

Quality


The picture quality is excellent and once we got the antenna oriented in the correct position we we getting a 95% to 98% signal strength.


And i’m very surprised how good the picture quality is.


The only way to overcome the curvature of the earth is with height.


It still does the job, but the build quality just isn't what is used to be.

Competitiveness


It also has a flat dipole uhf driven element instead of the oval winegard 'tetrapole' driven element used on the original model.


I should also insert a ymmv disclaimer here because i am within 16 miles of major affiliates (cbs, nbc, abc, etc.

    Arrived with a broken element support and bent pieces


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Buyers should be aware to inspect for bent pieces that may be touching nearby bare metal

    Also look for interconnecting wires that are not firmly connected to the elements

    Out of the three i can get kttv11 but it is less than marginal it has too many digital artifacts to be watchable
