Antennacraft HDTV/VHF/FM CS Series Antenna With 50 Boom Length&10 Electronic Elements CS600

After struggling with getting vhf channels with other cheap Chinese antennas that are really only uhf with a vhf dipole stuck on the end I gave up and bought this. Its pretty big but considering how large the "all channels 10 foot antenna" monsters are this is tiny in comparison! I'm very impressed with its performance as I'm on the fringe of reception from the empire state building about 90 plus miles away with a mountain in between but now I'm finally picking up WNET PBS 13 which seems to be a very difficult channel to get! You still need a UHF antenna if you want to pickup all the channels. This antenna gets about 16 channels combined with the uhf antenna im getting 53 in total. Remember this needs a 300ohm transformer and make sure you get one that is water proof. (I painted mine with liquid electrical tape for extra protection). And if you are going to put this up high on a mast you really should use a mast mount pre-amp with a uhf/vhf combiner and short (2 foot) coax for best performance. Unless you have a very strong signal just putting this thing up with 50 feet of coax in between it negates the need for such a big antenna in the first place.

This is the best antenna I've ever bought. It brings in all the stations within a 100 mile radius. The channels are crystal clear with very clean sound. Why buy cable when you can get all these channels for FREE! The antenna was easy to setup, just slide it out of the carton and adjust the rods and you are up and running in no time at all. If you already have the poles just slip the old antenna off and attach your new antenna to the pole. If you are installing your antenna at a new location you may need two poles to attach it to. This antenna was shipped faster than I expected.

Seems to be high quality, Great signal.

The CS600 VHF (2-13) and FM Antenna is the best fit for VHF in Bennington VT. I am using an amplifier and a combiner to use UHF, from a Clear Stream 4,antenna as well, I get all the major networks, "solid." I am 47 miles from all the Albany NY stations and there is MT. Anthony between us. I tried many more expensive antennas(5 of them), and not one had as good performance! Used an "AB switch" for a while to combine both VHF and UHF but a combiner works better. Would recommend the CS600 to any one who can aim an antenna. use tvfool dot com for finding stations you can get and their direction from you. antennapoint dot com works well also. Saves a bunch of money!

This was even larger than I thought it would be. It's a dual band yagi, meaning it's 2 antennas combined, so that it gets all the broadcast channels, instead of just the lower channels or the higher channels. I am happy with it for the price, it works great!
