What is the range to pick up a signal?

It depends where you mount the antenna. Mine is mounted inside my attic, 2 stories up, and I get all the Detroit area tv stations real good.They range from 2 miles to 40 miles away.

You can check their website for the specs...I think the one we have has a range of 60 - 75 miles, if my memory serves me. https://www.antennasdirect.com/store/ClearStream-4-Ultra-Long-Range-Outdoor-DTV-Antenna.html

As with all TV antennas, the range depends on the terrain and other obstacles between your antenna and the tower. If your antenna is mounted lower and you're in a valley the range will be less, perhaps 20 miles or less. If your antenna is mounted higher and the terrain is flat the range will be much more, perhaps as much as 70 miles. Antennas mounted outside usually work better because inside the house about half the signal may be lost passing through walls or roofing materials. This FCC web site will give you a pretty good idea of the reception at your address. http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ As with all TV antennas, the range depends on the terrain and other obstacles between your antenna and the tower.

My antenna picks up signals from transmitters 50 miles away, but a friend picks up signals that are 90 miles away. We live where it is flat with no obstacles to block the signal.

Probably about 20 miles. It performs as well as a roof antenna set at about 30 feet high. Placing the antenna outside and also changing its orientation will also change the stations you can pick up. The quality of your TV tuner also seems to have something to do with its range and sensitivity.

I am picking up my wifi from my house to my shop ( where the cc x mile is located ) I am also able to see multiple signals from others some more than a mile away. The distance is about 500 feet and I am getting 5 bars in shop, the area is wide open space .

Hi Joseph,The range is better then 5' maybe 15 or so but if there is motion in the room between or behind the sending device it breaks the signal.

And make sure you know how far away yer antenna will pick up TV signals: some say 35 miles, some say 50 miles. If you live farther than that, you wont get any reception.

The range will vary. I installed unit in an upstairs plaster wall structure and I was able to pick up signal as far as 250 feet away. Range is excellent.

Place the antenna as high as you can and the wings of the antenna should be perpendicular to the towers your trying to pick up... you may need an antenna with more elements... I have been using a roof top or attic antenna and picking up 40 in St Pete....my girl friend closer to the stations by 4 miles has rabbit ears...about the same power as this thing and sometimes gets 1 ! Trees, humidity in the air, rain, disturbances and the sun going down ionizing the atmosphere will decrease the signals. I sent the one like this back.

I can travel just about anywhere in my house or yard and still receive signal. It does depend, however, on what obstacles are between headset and source, such as a floor to ceiling well filled bookcase.

Based on my tests, it is about 30ft from the interior unit. At 40ft the signal is the same as if I didn't have the device. The signal is perfect within 15ft.

I have a strong signal through a brick building up to 1/2 mile. Beyond that I don't know.

You have to see what kind of signal they use. This one is 315mht. Look it up. Hope this helps

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!

Couldn't tell you for sure, but mine connects as I pull in the driveway. It'll hold signal till up the street when I leave. I can easily use it anywhere on my property which is over 100' at some points. It may be worth it to run a hardwire to your furthest area or get a signal booster/relay.

The adapter doesn't really determine range, the access point does. If the access point has a strong enough signal, set to the optimal frequency and channel, the adaptor will pick it up from a good distance away. If you're dealing with multiple access points, then beacons may factor in, but this device should suit most applications just fine.

It depends on the strength of the signal. Many signals are only designed to carry a certain distance. I would think that 45 miles is stretching it, but it's possible. Let the community know how you made out.

The ones in my area appear to be about 30-35 miles away. Not sure how far away it will pull in signals.

Depends on how high the signal strength is set with the knob...a few inches to several feet....

I have picked up the signal a mile away. Without static we have no issue with it going 500 yards to receivers inside a building.
