Doesn't work with FM channels

I bought this to try and get a 'problematic' local channel. I have 3 locals, 2 of them on physical UHF channels (36 and 39) and one on physical channel 10. The latter is the problem. They are all about 24 miles from me and all the towers are in sight of each other. UHF channels fit decently on any hanger or wire, but VHF just won't pop. So much for the lower frequencies, which are better suited to distance propagation. I bought these hoping I could avoid installing another outside antenna as god/weather doesn't seem to want me to have it. After all, at such a distance, I don't need it for these branches. Well the antenna has penetrated 85-90% VHF branches and I get ZERO percent from this VHF station when the antenna is pointed exactly in its azimuth. In addition, another UHF branch enters it from afar, although it is directly perpendicular to the direction in which the antenna is pointing. This makes me question the directivity of this device. 2 stars only because it boosted the UHF transmitter, otherwise it would have been a 1 or 0 because even with the preamps behind it on one channel there was no power at all that I wanted and that it MUST bring in.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Obsolete model
