Stellar Labs,Outdoor FM Antenna OMNIDIRECTIONAL

Good product

If you could place it higher the better...

This is the second one of these that I bought and installed. They are amazing antennas. I live in RF challenged valley and we’re lucky to get any out-of-county stations even though we’re only 100 miles out of Sacramento and Bay Area. Putting these up and feeding them with quality 75 ohm cable, F connectors and a 75 to 300 ohm adapter WILL result in dramatic improvement of FM reception. Stations that were marginal will go full quieting and new stations might appear that you couldn’t even bring in before. The instructions graph a dual pattern that is essentially 360° but has favorable lobes opposite each other. So some directivity is implicit. I have not needed to rotate the antenna to try to eek out any improved signal as some have noted in the reviews here. Nor open its circular configuration to a dipole orientation. Which is an option with the antenna if you want to try more directivity towards a favorite station or stations on the edge of good reception. This is an amazing well performing FM antenna for the price and, even as some reviewers have noted, it can even work as a aviation air band receive antenna. I give this antenna an A+++ all around with no cons.

Una muy buena antena tiene muy buena recepción en las estaciones FM y HD dice que es omnidireccional pero se le saca mejor provecho armarla tipo S así tiene mejor recepción con un divisor conecte también la tv y se ven todos los canales TDT de mi ciudad cabe mencionar que es muy fácil armarla y si la armamos en tipo S también es fácil y así sacarle el mejor provecho en punto final es una buena antena

Even in a very low lying area, best FM antenna so far!

マンションの室内で受信が悪くなり色々な屋外FMアンテナを試してみましたがどれも大して感度が上がらずでしたが、この製品は一発で受信レベルが改善され安定した受信が出来るようになり買って良かったです。

I read the previous reviews about the installation, but did not fully understand until you see the product. When you receive it, the screws at the bottom should be installed prior to hooking up the top edge to the plastic hook. Otherwise you will have a hard time getting the screws to fit. You should also note that the antenna jack is a female F type screw in socket. For the installation location, the antenna is sensitive to multipath interference, so it is best to site it away from metallic structures and power lines, as these may add noise to the signal. The antenna is directional, so being able to turn it to your preferred station is a plus. I installed it on a pole then shifted it until the noise was reduced. As I mostly listen to classical which has quiet passages, low noise is important to me. Once setup ideally, the sound was fantastic, with a big soundstage and great dynamic contrast. If the fit were perfect, this would be a 5 star product.
