Super antenna on antennas

There are already many reviews, but I like this antenna so much that I want to say something. I used an old Channel Master "strong" antenna in my attic. It did the job but was huge with a lot of protruding elements. Aiming was also tricky, but like I said, it worked. When I came across this 4V antenna I couldn't resist. I was finally able to get this huge beast out of my attic and maybe even improve reception with this smaller and less "sharp" antenna. This little beauty really attracts the train station. I get all the channels that are meant for me here in Houston. I am very happy with this antenna. It drives two TVs through an unpowered splitter and down two floors, and there is no additional amplification at the TV end. In general, if this antenna cannot pick up a station in your area, you will probably only be able to pick it up with a large "Edge" antenna. The only thing that bothers me about this antenna is that I don't like to pull the wing nuts directly onto the "rail". Bars. Lock washers must be included. The wing nuts came loose after installing the antenna, which caused some irritation. You need to get the wing nuts good and tight to withstand the expansion and contraction due to temperature changes in the attic. I don't know how they work outside. Just fasten them.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • So-so

Be careful. This antenna is only UHF. Very disappointed right now.
