For VHF+UHF long-range capabilities, what do you think about the Winegard HD7694P versus the Channel Master CM 4228 please?

The newer CM 4228HD is NOT a vhf antenna. It will pick up some vhf stations but only if they are strong in your area. I thing the 4228 is a better uhf antenna but depending on your location and the stations available the winegard mounted with a rotor may be a better choiced. Check TVfool.com to find out where and how strong your local station are.

I think both will work looking at the MFG specs and user reviews. I suggest to use the antennaweb.org web page to check where the signal is coming from and from how far away. It will be key to elevate the antenna to make sure you have a straight shot in that direction. I have the CM 4228 and it's mounted in my attic, which I preferred for aesthetic and maintenance reasons. Good luck, Uwe H.

I only have the DB2 hooked up now here in the chicago burbs and I get 2, 5, 7 and 9 just fine in addition to all the uhf channels.You'll really have to check it out for yourself, location, distance from signal, obstructions in the way, are you on a hill, flat or in a valley, house ,apt or condo etc etc...all are factors towards a good installation of the right antenna.

better call winegard-to technical,but I will tell you that I double stacked the winegard on top in one direction and a larger rca antenna just below it in the other direction tied together with a winegard coupler,works well and don't have to rotate the antenna, got 22 clear channels. no cable or sattelite!

Save some money. I could find no diference between the Extreme and the Basic, except for name and price. I found the Winegard passive version superior. Its wider. It is still true that the closer you get to 30 inches, the better. The winegard gains over the Mohu Leaf and the AmazonBasics flat antenna due to its being wider & thus catches more signal.

I currently use my RG8X for my HF 160m - 10 m rig. I prefer to use RG-213 for VHF work. However, the difference in performance between a 40' run of RG-8x and RG-213 would be insignificant on VHF FM and relatively minor on UHF FM. As long as you keep it under 100 ft of coax I wouldn't worry about it.

I have no experience with the antenna you inquired about but did replace an Antenna Direct DB9 with the Winegard. The Winegard is slightly superior to the DB8. The only antenna I have tried that is better than the Winegard flat wave is a highly directional 177 foot Wineard that was just too long for the attic. The principal stations watched are about 50 miles away across some ridges and valleys and subject to a lot of stormy weather. The flat wave is doing pretty well, is smaller than the antenna it replaced and comes with a matched amplifier. kFor anything under 50 miles the flat wae should be quite adequite. David

You bet it works for that! I'm 40+ miles away from the DTV transmitter sites. Have a CM4228 antenna in the attic. Been using an EDA-2100 to boost the signals. Works great! In fact, I just cascaded a second amp to improve our Fox TV affiliate signal just a bit. So I have two of these amps essentially on series. No overload, and they work great in this configuration.

ClearStream 5 is VHF, ClearStream 4 is UHF. If you buy only the 5, you will get long range VHF, and some short range UHF, and if you buy only the 4, you will get long range UHF, and short range VHF, so you really need both. I've had both installed since Dec 2012, saving me $1500 so far....would be more savings, but I still need the cable company for Internet access :-). If you get both, make sure the cable length between the antenna and the signal combiner is exactly the same....so just buy some pre-made 3', or 4' cable lengths.

They are both very similar in the technology used for the antenna. I have used the Amazon amplified version for over a month now and am very happy with the unit. I did find that I had to manually add some of the channels as my automatic scan did not pick up many of the channels. Once I did the manual add, I get channels that I didn't even have available with cable. I live in an area where I get Detroit and Toledo channels over the air.

Hey Jason, I cannot compare the two since I only have the HD7084. All the stations I receive are within 40 miles and the land is flat here in Florida. Good luck.

There are no VHF stations in our viewing area so I cannot address that feature for this antenna. However, we have the RV version Winegard Antenna on our motor home that receives VHF signals clearly. We watched Chicago VHF stations last year while camping in Bremen, IN which is about 100 miles from the transmitting towers! I hope this information is helpful.

Channel Master is still in Business. Try looking this up under part number: CM-6004

I have not, but I looked at the specs on the Sky antenna. It says it is a "powerful, amplified antenna." The 'amplified" part of that statement tells me it has an internal preamp. If so, you would not want to "chain" one preamp into another, like the 7778. The biggest reason is that the signal from the internal one would just swamp the 7778 with noise that it is not designed to handle. Good luck! I have a CM7778 barely used for sale, if you are still interested.

I have the HD7084 and I love it. It powers two Zenith Over the air converter boxes and two LED TVs. I get a great clear picture. Even the 1080i broadcast come in great as well as 480. I would definitely recommend this unit. I have more channels than I new were out there. I live out about 25 miles away from the Chicago stations. I also get some Michigan and Indiana stations.

I think you mean VHF, yes you can. It's dual band, VHF: 136MHz-174MHz, UHF: 400MHz-480MHz (Rx/Tx). Hope that helps

It doesn't matter. I have a BD4e UHF antenna in attic and a Denny's Stacker UHF/VHF on an outside mast with rotor. Both have Winegard LNA 200 preamps. After the preamps, there are two 1' cables to the antenna coupler and then 1' cable to the powered splitter (2-Port Bi-Directional Cable TV HDTV Amplifier Splitter Signal Booster with Passive Return Path) that then connects to the two coax cables running to the 2 TVs. We are in the middle of a hilly woods and all this is necessary to pull the stations from about 40 miles away.

The model referenced is the VHF/UHF model. This model would be a good choice. I am assuming you are aware that an amateur radio license is required to transmit with this radio in the ham bands.
