What is the range of this antenna?

It varies, depending on your area. I originally bought it to replace my TV tuner antenna for my laptop. Found out it wasn't compatible. Connected it to my TV, which is close to a window, and got most channels in my area (not too great reception, though), it would be the same with any portable antenna.

The antenna does no better than the cheap antenna that came with my TV. I do not recommend.

if you want any range at all, you have to buy a decent antenna. height counts, so a 6' - 8' antenna is a good choice.

Good question! never tried the fm reception so I can't answer it. Matter of fact I do not have this antenna anymore.

It depends where you mount the antenna. Mine is mounted inside my attic, 2 stories up, and I get all the Detroit area tv stations real good.They range from 2 miles to 40 miles away.

Wish I could answer this for you, but I have no idea. All I can say is so far this antenna has been an excellent purchase for our home.

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.

As with all TV antennas, the range depends on the terrain and other obstacles between your antenna and the tower. If your antenna is mounted lower and you're in a valley the range will be less, perhaps 20 miles or less. If your antenna is mounted higher and the terrain is flat the range will be much more, perhaps as much as 70 miles. Antennas mounted outside usually work better because inside the house about half the signal may be lost passing through walls or roofing materials. This FCC web site will give you a pretty good idea of the reception at your address. http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ As with all TV antennas, the range depends on the terrain and other obstacles between your antenna and the tower.

I don't know, but can tell you that our broadcast towers are about 25 miles away..tho they are up high on a ridge with nothing in the way. It works fine at this distance.

In my experience, it depends on quite a few things. Atmospheric conditions, large bldgs/towers/hills, etc. can have a detrimental effect on antenna effectiveness. Also make sure to mount as high as possible on your vehicle. With perfect conditions (flat land, no towers, obstructions, etc., high mount, decent cb radio, good weather) these antennas will work for miles. I've never thought to measure how far but I'd think at least 2-3 miles.

I do not have the slightest idea. As the antenna mounts within a manufacturers product line are the same there is a possibility of compatibility. Is it matched to the frequency range is anybodies guess. Have you checked the specs?

reception seems to be 15 to 20 feet transmission 10 to 15. it varies with the quality of the transmission device on the receiving device but I would say 15 feet either way would be safe.

I can't address all the techie issues about this antenna, but it work just fine with my scanner. I've had one for two years or so and I bring in signal from 75+ miles away in the two meter range and beyond, 136- 160+mhz. Uhf comes in fine. A local, with in 40 miles, uses Uhf 400, 460mkz range and it blows in, 5x5. So my answer to your question is , yes it does a great job, a great job seeing as how I live in a very rural area.

I am currently using 75 ft of cable and reception is as good as I expect. The height of actual antenna makes the most difference in reception. Mount it as high as possible.

We listen to an FM station 35 miles away and it works great, but it is called an FM antenna. So I just don't know.

If you're planning on using the 'rubber duckie' antenna that comes with the unit then no you can't get that range. However, with an outside antenna with at least 3 decibel gain that 1 km range is possible. Mount the antenna as high as possible and away from obstructions. You should possibly check with the FCC (if you're transmitting in the U.S.) for their regulations concerning these FM transmitters.

Not sure. I tried to set it up and found that the range was very limited. Overall I was disappointed and threw it out.

not sure about a number for the range, however this antenna would be a major waste of your time and money. I tried this thing every way possible and it simply sucks. This is truely a piece of junk.
