Review on πŸ“‘ Mediasonic Adjustable Attic Antenna Mounting Pole: 38" Reversible J-Pole for Outdoor Reception (HW-510P) by Eric Weber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price

I used an indoor antenna to receive TV from a local station. Although the distance wasn't great, the ever growing foliage caused some problems and I had to use an external antenna. I knew I needed a basic yagi antenna and chose this one for its small size and LOW PRICE. My expectations were low but I didn't want high performance, I just needed a little boost to overcome the reception problems. I WAS SURPRISED HOW WELL THIS $20 ANTENNA WORKED! II needed to pick up a UHF signal from less than 10 miles away and that wasn't a problem. However, I was able to receive signals for over 60 miles with this antenna, despite the mountainous terrain and low installation altitude. The performance of this inexpensive antenna is very good. I grew up in the era of analog VHF and UHF television. Long before satellite and cable TV became the norm, I used antennas to receive TV broadcasts, often over long distances. A few years ago I used separate, specialized, high-gain UHF and VHF antennas mounted on tall structures with rotors and amplifiers to receive television signals 50-60 miles away. This little $20 yagi outperforms some of my old high tech rigs and does so from 8 feet off the ground, unreinforced and rigidly mounted. Of course, every situation is different. terrain, distance, Transmission power and interference are factors in every installation, but it's worth checking out this little $20 Yagi.

Pros
  • Radio antennas
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
