Waste of money on accessories and consumables

Waste of money. I have the same OTA channels without it as with it and the signal meter doesn't come close to what the instructions say. In fact, the instructions were very confusing.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some errors

Not very useful with modern lower powered antennas

When tuning an internal antenna you will need to move away from it to get an accurate reading and the meter may be difficult to see. Also, be careful not to move the antenna when turning the meter off.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Quality

good value for money good for audio and video accessories

counter good seems well built. but it doesn't work on my antenna. I have one of those plastic jobs where the rotor gets power via a coax cable to the antenna. As soon as I plugged it in, the power LED lit up with the switch in the off position. will return it. Some in the description should be added to solve this problem

Pros
  • it's amazing
Cons
  • old

Highly Recommended Best Mounting Accessory

My OTA antenna is in the attic. I made adjustments (several times) using a compass and instructions found on the internet. I have many channels but not always strong and reliable. Finally checked again and found CIMPLE CO - Signal Strength Meter. It had good reviews and was in a very affordable range compared to other gauges. It took me a while to figure out that no matter how many indicator lights are on, you get used to the "flashing" light. For me it was just a light. Then I could get the…

Best case OK

I live in an area where multiple channels come from multiple broadcast antennas. I expected this signal strength meter to be able to distinguish towers so I could find the best position for each tower and then place the antennas in the best "compromise" position. Unfortunately, the meter cannot distinguish between different towers. and only gives me evidence of the strongest. I still had to use per-channel trial and error and ended up with the same compromised location I had used before (e.g…

  • Includes: TV signal strength meter with adapter kit and coax cable

Actual Lost Channels

Connected device with 3-way combiner (3 antennas). Before connecting I had 52 channels, 47 stable signals. I figured that a signal level meter would help to null out the signals better, which would allow fine tuning of a not very stable signal. The connected meter glows with only three blue lights. Followed the instructions to the letter. Used multiple apps and a compass and websites to set up each antenna individually. Even hooked up a variable amplifier. Regardless of the antenna combination,

Pros
  • Features: Signal meter has impressive LED feedback display, gain control and coax cable for easy installation
Cons
  • Newer model could have been selected

Too soon to know

So this is one of those cases where you're tapped for verification. One of those times they really have to wait for verification! I'm preparing to start full-time RVing and thought this would come in handy. Right now I'm in an area that I thought was too close to a major city for this thing to make a difference, but after trying? Well, I could only light 2-3 lightbulbs. Rotated the antenna 360 degrees several times. I have to say that when I first read the instructions I was a bit confused and…
