What is the difference between omni and the directional one? P.S we are putting it in a dariy barn.

Outdoor antenna: Directional has more range, because all the signal is concentrated in a smaller area. But you have to play with it to get it pointed at the nearest cellular antenna. If you have good reception on your roof, but poor reception in the basement, it would be easier to put an omni on the roof.Indoor Antenna: If you're going to put the antenna on a wall and all the usable space is in front of that wall, go with a "patch" antenna. It broadcasts primarily to the front. If your antenna is in the middle (more or less) of the usable space, use an "omni" that broadcasts in all directions.

If you can find the nearest tower in your area you mite want the directional , if your in the grey wasteland that is northern Cali my omni can't be beat ! I have the directional & haven't put it up or tryed it yet ,the omni works so well I'd hate to screw it up

My understanding is that you font have to point it at the strongest signal area directly. Height is most important for success, not trying to aim the point of the antenna at strongest signal direction

it was not omni directional. I could point it at Austin and get Austin, but it would not get Waco or Houston. I could point it at Houston and get Houston, but I could not get Austin or Waco or San Antonio... etc... etc..

Yes it is bi-directional. I have it mounted sprocket side in and it's running great. My doodlebug pushes 50mph with a modified predator motor and it holds up great so far

There was nothing stating that this is omnidirectional. I do know from experience that you need to have a decent line of site to your closest transponders. I live in a bad reception area due to being in a bottom floor apt in a heavily wooded area and hoped this would give me better reception than my old rabbit ear antenna. It actually did not do as well.

It appears to be the label side. When I switch it around my interference increases significantly. And Yes it is definitely directional. Honestly I would only recommend getting one, two barely increased my signal.

I've wondered that as well. From looking at an online version of the manual the difference is that the interior model has a plug-in transformer. The exterior model appears to have it's own built-in transformer and is connected to the home's wiring (e.g. via conduit.)

It pretty much covers 360 degrees from my experience. Even when I'm in my kitchen (it's by the front door) it barks from movement. It you only want it to work facing one direction, you'd need to put something around the area where you don't want it to respond to make it directional.

It can move either way. It's very nice for the money and fairly sturdy, but the first one that came had a dent in it. I sent it back and Amazon sent me another.

There are LEDs on the four sides and the top. So the light appears rather omni-directional. I disagree with D. Gonzales answer that these provide little light. They put out more light than the 4 watt bulbs I was using.

One sided. The other side is short and coated. You wouldn't want both sides to have fur. It's very comfortable.

It's vertical when you use it in a stationary position. it rotates out of the way in a horizontal position when you pull the trailer.

Think of the electricity like flowing water. The electricity flows "in" from the vehicle and "out" towards the trailer. It only works in 1 direction.

Yes, the bulb is omnidirectional. This is the best led bulb I have used in reference to a direct and effective replacement for an incandescent bulb of the same shape and size. The light is clean and bright, obviously instant on and functions in the same way as an incandescent with less heat and expense. I have also purchased Cree 60 watt daylight bulb for my ceiling fan in my home office. I am very satisfied. Hope this helps.

It's not "omni-directional" With HDTV you only need to point in a general direction. If Winegard wants to know how to make it "Omni directional", they should ask me to design it. John A. Lamantia (Warwick TV Service)

It is a rectangle so one direction is smaller that the other. Check the dimensions. I have used it several times and once I figured out the correct inflation amount (that took a couple rides) I highly recommend it for long rides because it really makes a difference! The only other thing I have used is the sheepskin. I know for sure I did not pay 78 bucks,so shop around.

They are more omni directional in my opinion. The entire frosted bulb area gives off light in all directions. With that said, the Cree does an even better job of this in my opinion because the frosted bulb area is larger.

This is an Omni antenna, not directional. Channel 3 is around 60 Mhz or wavelength of about 16 feet. That's why large antennas have 1/2 wavelength of 8 foot antennas. Most huge antennas atop houses are Log Periodic's with +6 dBi gain. So there are log periodics and Omni's and that's typically it. this antenna is a copper etched circuit card with cable soldered across the two parts. each part is a triangle atop each other, and it's a really bad antenna for low frequency channels. Antennas 1/3 wavelength have ok gain, 1/6 wavelength gain is 20 dB lower than that.By the way, I'm an antenna engineer, This is an Omni antenna, not directional.
