What type of antenna is this? What is the gain or receiver sensitivity?

(Background) I live in the Philadelphia area and purchased this antenna for my laptop with a multimedia card. I move around alot on my job and most times have to wait to conduct my business. So I figured I would watch "live tv" instead of using my on-line data minutes. (Performance) Maximum outdoor range for clear reception = 20 miles from the transmitter (your mileage may vary) The antenna is basically L.O.S. (Line of Sight) If you try and use the antenna indoors 95% of the time the reception will be non existent for (Dtv) digital tv.

I don't know any technical info about the antenna. My desktop has multi-media capability. I don't own a tv or purchase cable or dish services for tv. This antenna plugs into my desktop console and receives all the local programming with great clarity. I can access many stations.

Can you be a bit more specific as to what you want to know? And is that "receiver" ?

This is a UHF antenna only . Most of the signals today are UHF . Go to TV Fool .com , to check your area.

Communications is two way, so this particular antenna has very low transmit gain and therefore even if it's receive sensitivity were much better, it could not work with one of them no matter which end you put it on. In actual testing, the output of this antenna was so bad that a unity gain (2.2 dbi) stick antenna was actually broadcasting with a slightly stronger signal when connected to the same equipment. I have tested a TPlink parabolic 24 dbi antenna that actually works for both transmit and receive.

Reading the description of that antenna, I noticed that it has a built in amplifier. Try using it first, to see what your reception is, before adding a separate amp.

Antenna's position is The Key!!! And I use this Antenna: Philips SDV1225T/27 Indoor Passive Antenna http://www.frys.com/product/6640864?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Sometimes I get almost 90ch but most are foriegn! (Spanish Asian)

Will it work? Yes, but you will not get good results. Why spend $300 on a radio, and then only $20 on an antenna? That is like buying a top of the line stereo and then getting cheap WalMart speakers. Don't treat this like it is a CB radio.Try something with high gain. Gain is everything in the 2m band. Try this one: ANLI WH-713 High Gain DualBand VHF/UHF Mobile Ham Radio Antenna - 2M/440. It will require a mount that has an SO-239 mount. SWR isn't the only consideration. An antenna with high gain is going to help you more than anything else. The higher the gain, the more efficient the antenna. 3 db of gain means that the antenna will pass on twice the power. Will it work? Yes, but you will not get good results.

Scanner antennas are usually vertical. A signal polarization mismatch will cause a -20 dB loss.

It only works with an antenna system. That is all I know about it. I returned it.

ok,well,as i just stated in my last post, i have already gone to antennaweb.org.and their information must be taken with a grain of salt.the predictions for what you can and cannot get seem to be educated guesses,but do not pan out (at least in my case). but anyway,i already know that knowing the location of a transmitter generally helps.i only want information on different makes of converter boxes.

I'm sorry to say, neither. I tried three of these Sangean ANT-100 antennas on two different Sangean CL-100 radios and there was absolutely no signal improvement whatsoever on ANY band (AM, FM or NOAA). The signal I was receiving prior to attaching this "antenna" greatly degraded the moment I plugged it in. I also took the liberty of trying this "antenna" on several other radios in my home and unfortunately, I obtained the same result. In my opinion (and experience), this so-called "antenna" is literally worthless and Amazon should discontinue this product immediately.

Can you tell me what type of the devices that you used to strengthen the signal (name, model, the frequency)

What you want to look for is the gain on the antenna. In most cases, the outdoor antenna will provide between 2 and 3db gain. but you can find higher. Be sure you're looking at an antenna for the right frequency ranges (700 mHz, 800, mHz and 1900 Hz)

thank you for your response- I found a discussion on yahoo yesterday that explained the antenna pretty well- basically that the so called "HD antenna the retailers are selling is hype and not really needed .

I purchased one of those systems, but I returned it. I found the UHF signal to be a lot better. I do not sell them either.

To get effective gain, it needs to have a ground plane to mount on. That a large sheet of metal. If your in a moble home and it has a metal roof, that would work.If its FM and the stations are in the same direction, I look at some house FM Antenna. For AM see what the amature radio info, it might be a long wire strung and how to put an lighting arrestor.Hope that helps
