Have you ever compared this antenna to the RCA ANT751? My question is specific to long-range reception as I am 50 miles from Empire State Building.

We researched antennas and thought this one would work for us. We live in a rural area in the foothills of Nevada - approximately 150 miles from Las Vegas... This antenna works well enough to bring in 14 stations without cable or satallite. Hope this helps you ...

No I haven't compared them. I used to go to Radio Shack and just buy on. But this last time I went on line and the site I went to asked me some questions and to give them my zip code. It recommended one. It was cheaper than the one at Radio Shack and it worked really good. I am on Direct TV now with the antenna as a back up. I am 50 miles from Houston.

I never compared any models to this antenna. I did my research and this one came out on top. After I installed it, it proved my research correct.

No I haven't tried that one. I have DB8 bowtie up now and it works very well. I am about 75 or so miles from the city. They make a DB8HX now that is double the size of the other one. Can also go in two directions with that. Hope this helps you.

No, I don't live in a flat area, actually I'm in rolling hills/mountain area, but I believe I'm high enough ground to clear some of the trees... Also, 60 miles is within the earth's curvature, so it's not a big deal.. the key is being on high-ground. Also, on some tropo days I can pick up stations about 110 miles away with the proper weather conditions, etc...

I dont have RCA ANT751 to compare, but I do know it can pick up some of my stations about 60 miles away.

Yes, I live about 20 miles out of Seattle's tower antennas. Works perfectly hidden in my attic.

First of all, outstanding choice for a base station. Unless you have a giant attic, about 25 feet or so including ground plane kit, this antenia wont work. We have it installed about 10 feet above the roof line and it performs outstanding. I feel your pain..... Consider another type of attic specific antenna knowing your attic dimensions. On the up side....You will have a stealth installation. Good Luck....Mike Long Beach Ca.

I'm not entirely, sure-I believe the main transmitting antenna I was picking up while it did work were about 10 miles away. It worked for a few months, then died. I bought the RCA antenna at Fry's with a pre-amplifier, works better and is still working.

in my experience with this antenna, the signals must be very strong to copy them. i have not used it that much on those bands, maybe only a few times to see. its not a dipole up at 30 ft and will not perform like one. but, its better than the stock antenna, esp if you run it outside. the main thing is its portability. you could get a 100 ft long wife and it will do better. but, its not as convenient as this, esp for air travel.

The reception is great for me. My office is in the middle of a concrete building with large HVAC equipment on the roof above me and I have no trouble picking up my local public radio station. I just adjust the antenna every now then if things get wonky.

Yes n better radio,guaranteed receive n transmit is great on long range.up to 30- 50 miles.on both.

every area has different characteristics, and RF interference, my signals are making it over 50 miles and sharp, if the broadcast towers are unobstructed between you and them, i.e. on top of tall buildings it shouldn't be a problem, there are online resources to give you estimated channel reception, take what it says and the Mohu should out perform that substantially

Hi, I'm in CT as well, 52 miles from the NYC transmitters. I was curious if you ending up using this antenna. If so, what kind of results have you had? I'm thinking of doing an attic mount but may go rooftop if needed. Where did you mount it? Have you noticed any seasonal issues with it (I'm concerned about when the trees are in bloom)? Thanks

I installed an amplifier and several antenna's but nothing helped, image still breaks up. I took a road trip through several cites in Florida and had the same problem. Only strange thing was while driving around Altanta GA, I had perfect reception of Fox Ch 5 at 65mph for about 70 miles, from around Gainesville to Forsyth GA. I was watching the world series, this is the only time I had perfect reception.

RCA ANT751 available at Amazon works great for me 40 miles from tower mounted in my attic.

I live in a smaller town and I can receive signals that are probably 55 miles away in different directions. I had a more expensive antenna and it didn't perform near as well. Because these are antenas, I have found placing them near a window and at a higher level on shelf above tv extends their distance ability.

You can check their website for the specs...I think the one we have has a range of 60 - 75 miles, if my memory serves me. https://www.antennasdirect.com/store/ClearStream-4-Ultra-Long-Range-Outdoor-DTV-Antenna.html

I talked to RCA about that and did not get any useable response. According to their website description of those antennas (they have 3 similar ones, amplifier/not amplified/superior reception). I would think that an amplified would allow you to get good reception when having a weak signal, but that would be the only benefit.We know have the antenna sitting in a bookshelf at the bottom, behind some pictures, hardly noticeable. Reception is the same, flawless. And no external power supply needed. Keep in mind that thanks to Amazon's great business policies, you can return the item within 30 days in case you are dissatisfied. I talked to RCA about that and did not get any useable response.

The price and the quality is different. But do not get me wrong both are great. I just bought the ANT122F because of the price and the great reviews. I spent $60.00 on a antenna from Target and it was terrible. This little antenna was great! I do not have cable, however, I though I had cable after connecting it to my TV. Hope this helps.

It doesnt really matter what you live in, what matters most is how far away or what terrain is in between your broadcast stations. I live about 30 miles away from the local stations and I am happy with the antenna. (also a mobile home)

I was able to significantly improve my radio's reception of my favorite station which is over 100 miles away. Before purchasing the Terk antenna I could get the station but it was full of static and hard to listen to. With the antenna, the station is now crystal clear. I'm happy with the antenna's performance. No guarantee it will help your reception, but if it doesn't meet your expectation just return it to Amazon for a refund.
