Omnidirectional Reception Exclusive Smartpass Amplified Review

I just bought this antenna for my father as the last antenna we had from his company is old. We have had it for 5 years and are happy with our investment. It claims to come with a 39 foot cord, but it actually comes with just 4 feet of cord. It also claims to come with a pole mount, but that wasn't there either. Luckily we had the bracket and cable from the previous antenna. Other than that I can't comment on the photo as he only received it yesterday.

So let's compare - rabbit ears received a signal and clearly allowed you to see all major networks, PBS, CW, ION, Univision. , Telemundo and many other peripheral channels. 1byone, not so much. He couldn't receive all the channels that have bunny ears…

We have tried 3 different antennas and this is the only one that picks up our local NBC which is an FM channel. It was the first we bought and although we got all the chains Fox was very stained. So we returned it and tried two others that claimed a 50-mile range and FM capability. The two antennas were Mohu Leaf with 50 miles gain and Refun with 50-100 miles gain. Neither of them even picked up our local VHF, and Fox was still spotty. It has been our experience that when our cellphones or…
