QuestionDoes this antenna come with a mounting bracket?
Asked 8 years ago by Henry.
- Answer Henry, Yes it does, everything needed to clamp the antenna to the mast that you provide is included in the box. I used a 3/4" diameter pipe but you can use smaller if you are installing indoors.

QuestionI know product is multidirectional, but does it pick up better from the front side versus back side or angled to target? Would a rotor be beneficial when transmitting towers are say 130 degrees apart?
Asked 8 years ago by DaveG.
- Answer The front is stronger. At 130 degrees a rotor may be the best choice. Thanks!

QuestionI need to split between 4 tv sets in a small condo. Where would be the best place to split it off the roof?
Asked 9 years ago by bcoz.
- Answer I would pick the easiest location to install the split. You will lose roughly 7db of signal strength. Keep in mind that if the loss from the split affects performance you may need a distribution amplifier. Thanks!

QuestionI want to use this on a BoatWhile out at an anchorage I want to be able to receive and keep signals. I am almost mid way between two metro areas. Previous digital antenna worked OK but as the boat swayed on the anchor the signal would come and go. Will this keep up with the signal as the boat sways up to 90 deg in each direction? any other suggestions that will not cost thousands of dollars?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I get a pretty decent signal at my home, I'm within 10 miles of Cincinnati towers and within 30 miles of Dayton towers. The Dayton stations come in better. When I have the tv on and walk past the antenna the signal will cut in and out. I believe this will probably happen on your boat as it sways. The only way I think it might not is if it is mounted in a way to have zero interference, no walls or doors in the way.

QuestionDoes this attenna bring in cable stations like lifetime movie network and fx and oxygen? And it easy to assemble.
Asked 8 years ago by Lizzy2.
- Answer Yes it does, depending on your area. Go on line and check the distance to the stations that broadcast those signals. Also be aware that signal reach is determined by antenna height and obstructions. Because the antenna is multi-directional it does increase your receiving area. Yes,the assembly of this product is relatively easy, just hand tighten all attachments first before tightening.
