How do you aim the antenna? Which is the "front end" of the antenna that you would point toward the direction of lower signal quality?

The side with the Asus logo is the one that radiates stronger. But there is also some radiation going in the opposite direction as well.

In my tests the Asus label side is the back and blank side is forward for signal direction.

The Front of this antenna is the side that has all dimples and NO smooth rectangular box with logo. The Rear of the antenna is the side with a smooth rectangular box & logo. Always face the Front of the antenna TOWARDS the area you wish to cover.

First you may not have a good ground. If you do then I would move the antenna mast up or down about 1/4 inch and then re-try. If worse then go the other way......

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.

You need to get an SWR meter and tune the antenna by moving the vertical antenna element for best performance. 1:2 is the best I was able to get. So far I was able to reach 30 miles on LSB during the night.

Aloha, I don't know the equipment you have mentioned in your question ( 460101 DT 4G / booster ) but this yagi ,or directional pointer/ antenna? It was our saving grace when the booster we had purchased just wasn't enough. Get it as high as you can, point it at the nearest Tower and it will increase your range of reception. Hope this is helpful for you. Kaboonshi

Not that great I'm afraid: line of sight is fine, but unless you can get up on a pretty high perch, don't expect much. However, this is true with all handheld VHFs. What I'd love to see is a way to connect the antenna port to a mast-top antenna. Maybe such a thing already exists?

Install it high on a wall facing a direction where you get the best reception. Read instructions and visit their website for more information.

I don't know what it will pick up, up there. You will need to get an inline booster. My channel 7.1 through 7.4 comes in good all the time. My channel 21.1 through 21.4 don't come in to good all the time, at night better. But I did not get any channel 21 before. I think I probably get couple other channels that I don't watch. I went on another site to see what channels, antennas would be out there, and how far away they are. And then pointed my antenna in that direction. Had to play with the ears, and antenna direction to get to work better. I hope this will help you make up your mind. I have not done anything to my antenna, but I have been thinking about screwing a bigger base on it.

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.

I am using a rooftop antenna with a signal booster from Radio Shack. Should probably use an antenna made for digital TV.

If the signal that you're trying to receive is decent or at least ok and it is the receiver that you're having a problem with yes the antenna will help you but remember if the signal is noisy the amplified antenna will probably be just be amplifying noise I hope this helped... Hauser

It needs to be pointed in the direction of your local stations antennas. Goggle search your local stations to find proper direction. Also installing in attic does take away some of the distance it can pickup. Longer wire runs need a booster to retain good picture. Hope this helps

This is a directional antenna. you need to point it in the direction where you want to get the signal. This is regardless if in the attic or on top of the roof.

I don't have enough information to be helpful. If you have confirmed that you are aimed correctly, most of the channels you can receive are not scrambled. If you are aimed somewhere else, most channels will be scrambled. My next step if I were you would be to double-check your alignment.

Mine was very simple (with DirecTV. Just plugged into the receiver and set it up generally facing South and starting around 40%azimuth (there is a graph in the manual that gives you an idea what it should be depending on where your located.. Then you can manually adjust it with the remote to get the strongest signal using the signal strength finder on the receiver menu. Good luck. I use mine camping and and tailgating. Very happy with it.

Not sure wich transmitter you're using but I'm using a boscam. You can use the 90 degree elbow that came with the antennas so it goes out to the side.

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.
