I live on a sailboat in San Diego (docked in a marina). Can I get reception?.

I purchase this for my brother, he said it did not work when he received it. Now I told him let's send it back, but he refused to for what ever reason. Still I don't understand. I recommend not purchasing this item, but if you do at the first problem in your warranty send it back!

Yes, the antenna, has some decent range inland, but with an additional antenna, HD or amplified you should be able to get more than 7 Channels, my average is about 12

I would think you could b ut have no way of knowing positively. If any tv not hooked up to cable can do it then the auvio can.

You will need a antenna and I bought one from amazon. Look for marine antenna, it works great. Dual MAR16B Marine Flexible Mast Antenna Black, its small and works great.

I have not used in a boat, but I would assume it would work great as long as the antennae has a clear view of the sky

I installed mine inside the counter of an outdoor kitchen. The counter is composed of concrete fiber board & stone veneer with a granite countertop. I get great FM reception but only fair AM reception. I would imagine it would work fine on an aluminum fishing boat if you mainly listen to FM stations.

If you want to boost the signal in one direction make your own antenna booster using the Windsurfer template its easy to build. http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/

You will need the correct frequencies which can be found on the net at http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Marine or several other sites

Absolutely! I can go clear to the other end of the house and even outside and I get reception. This is not one of your "line-of-sight" units.

This phone got very high ratings from other users and cnet. We live on our sailboat and use it as our primary landline phone when at the dock. It serves us well and I would buy it again.

Absolutely! We live in rather remote area and have no problems at all with reception. We also love to travel and have had great luck with reception where ever we go.

Yes you can. I live in San Diego and I just tried it. I'm listening to BBC4 now.

I use this antenna for my flat screen tv on my boat in San Francisco Bay, and it works really good. I don't ahve it hooked up for FM radio , so I don't know about that. Isn't VHF the old type of TV broadcast signal over the air? I think most areas now broadcast a digital signal for HD ( High Definition ).

Yes but you have to get it close to a south window...I have mine velcroed fast. The reception bar on the radio will tell you if you're getting good reception!

Depends on where you connect it. If you lanai has strong supports you will be okay if hooking to the corner supports I would suspect. One advantage of this type of sail is that it lets the air pass through it so it does not act like a sail but more of a screen. I am impresses with it and have used mine to cover a boat in florida. It is holding up great and has been in service over a year now. Hope this helps.

I have found that location and direction is vital to reception. If you can find out what direction the tower is located and point it in that way you should get decent reception.

I dont think so..but a proper way to cunduct communication should be considered.. http://blog.boattrader.com/2012/09/vhf-radio-protocol.html

I'm sure you could. I bought it to use in my boat and it works very well. I think you would have to hold it near an open window so it would have a connection to the satellite.

Until u put a SIMM card in it for the cellular all u can use is the wifi - I would think as long as your nautical gps works on wi fi u won't need the cellular servic
