Will this unit funtion sufficiently if adding additional coax cable to the supplied 10' cable? Would like to mount outdoors and distance is an issue.

Hi, if you need longer cable, I recommend you to buy 1byone new white/black antenna with 20ft cable. Here is the link, 1byone OUS00-0562 Amplified HDTV Antenna 50 Miles Range with USB Power Supply and 20 Feet Coaxial Cable - White/Black

I mounted mine on the corner of my house attached to a couple of sections of pipe and got it up pretty high and it work very well. I was getting a 5 mile range until all the sudden I couldn't get a mile and I don't know what happened but for the time it worked really well in that configuration I used about 50 feet of coax

Yes - that is the same setup I'm running. Keep in mind, if you're running an antenna on the same set of coax - it will not work correctly.

They sell a 50 mile antenna that looks like this same antenna with an added amplifier/booster. Perhaps buying it, and just adding additional coax might give you the same results as the others have mentioned. BTW, I thought this antenna worked surprisingly well...if your local channels' signals, and your tv's tuner, are strong enough, you may be able to add extra coax with a signal booster. Good luck.

You have to get a splitter to connect to the cable and then to the radio. So your radio has to have an external hard-wire antenna connection for this to work. It should improve the reception given that you are reasonably pointed to the radio tower with line of sight. Good luck.

Well, I have an outside tall antenna and hooked this up to the cable from that antenna that went to the high definition television. It worked for me but then again I am just 70 miles from Houston but I am not sure it will work for you.

To be honest I think you will have to try it or call the company about your location. By the way, I am happy with the product, I install in the attic of my house run coax cable to both of my TV.

No, it's not meant to reach that kind of area. I'd call Wilson. They're support is really great. They may suggest something like this with different antennas or they may suggest a home sized unit.

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

Yes. As the previous answer indicated using a coax cable splitter. If the signal is to weak then you may have to add a small amplifier, that's what I did. Search Amazon for 'signal amplifier tv antenna'. Find an inexpensive amplifier with an 18 dB output. Should give you a range (reach) of about 30 miles.

I am using it outdoors. I sealed the connector at the antenna with coax seal and have not had a problem

We purchased this for an outside antenna and it didn't make a difference at all with viewing more or better. We gave it away as it was past the time that Amazon would take it back without shipping fees etc. Good Luck!

Not unless you are able to mount it on a window -- a longer coax will probably be needed to establish the best position.

Hi, the cable that comes with the antenna for attaching to your tv is 6ft long. It is very thin and likely too short for most setups so you will want to pickup a longer coax cable, especially if you are installing in an attic. Good luckJeff

Not sure what the question really means, if you could further explain, but I'll give it a shot. If what you mean is if the cable is usable outdoors, mine runs through the wall and out side, and the side of the house to get to the antenna. So yes it works for external use. Hope this is helpful!

The antenna on to is the only connection , use an adapter to connect to your coax. This should achieve what your looking to do.

That would be nice. But, no. You will need a good quality outdoor extension chord. I would suggest 100 ft.
