I returned it and bought High Power USB-Yagi Plug and Play directional WiFi Antenna 802.11n 2200mW. it works much better. Put it inside a plastic container to keep it dry outside

the best thing for outdoor untis is to get the outdoor unit they provide and not sure the cable size a google search can tell you the cable size

Hi Railson....I do not understand your question, "Higher gain antennas recommendations ?"....could you please clarify. Thank you Chris

I don't know the optimal location for this device. It does have a weather proof case which implies it could be used outdoors, nearer the antenna. However, I use mine inside, about midway in the 60 ft. of cable between the antenna and the nearest TV. One might expect, that if you have a signal that is weak, the sooner you add amplification the better, but my works well as it is.

This unit is very small and I am using in the an area close to our Broadcasting towers..(12 miles) so with the distance that you are mentioning I would purchase a larger antenna for the distance.

When you purchase an antenna, make sure it's able to pick up both UHF and VHF. You may also choose to buy two separate antennas but that depends on your distance from the stations in your area. I got an antenna made by Antennas Direct and it works as advertised (and maybe just a little bit better than that). I have the Antennas Direct C2-V-CJM ClearStream 2-V Long Range UHF/VHF Indoor/Outdoor DTV Antenna with 20-Inch Mount. I'm about 35 miles from all of the stations and am very happy with this converter box. It's low priced and works.

Raise the antenna. Maybe purchase an external antenna and plug it into the antenna slot.

I really dont have the answer...but you could contact the company and they could help you....I just know that it works really well with my direct tv satellite receiver and the antenna for over the air tv...

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is... » Read More the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles « Show Less

I would take the advice of the seller below (MST CO.) and not use this with the antenna you purchased. For any one else who has an outdoor antenna, this amplifier works wonderfully. My parents live almost 90+ miles from a television trans. tower and finally have great reception. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Grab one of these and enjoy....The TERK XM6 outdoor antenna. You can also get extra cable if you need it. Awesome radio inside the home or in the car!

After sending my answer, I realized that the antenna in question is the trucker outdoor and not the indoor one that I commented on. I do not have access to my trucker antenna right now, so I do not have that information. Sorry.Jerry

The signal booster is made for outdoor antennas. I don't know if it matters which antenna you have. I use mine on my old rooftop antenna, it works for me.

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.

Depending on your home construction you will lose 75% or more of your signal to the walls and house wrap then you will lose another 50% of what is left to the splitter. The antenna may just be in a bad spot as well. Sometimes just moving 5 or 10 ft can make a big difference. If possible try taking the antenna outside and put it on a piece of pvc pipe and bungy cord it to your deck rail. Then hook to a small portable TV if you have one and see if the problem goes away. I know some people cant put an antenna on the roof but I have seen these work well fastened flat against an outside wall that faces the right direction as long as there are no stations in the opposite direction you want. Also if you have more than 50 ft of cable and the splitter you might want to consider a preamp like the CM7777. It eats up 2 or 3 db of signal but then you dont have to worry about the 6 or 7 db of signal the cable and splitter eat. Dont get a distribution amp (1 input many outputs) they only work if you have a very very strong signal you want to send long distances and many places, always look for the noise figure on any amp, if its not listed or higher then 3 db pass it by.

Most definitely ... I used the HD cable from my satellite hookup for the antenna ... works beautifully and no new cable to run :)

Well - this antenna won't help you at all. For AM reception a "long wire" style antenna is preferred. Simply try and string up as long as piece of wire as you can with the wire parallel to the station you want to pick up. Generally 20-30 feet of speaker type wire "unzipped" to make a single strand...buy 15 feet of wire, unzip it, twist the wires together in the middle and you have a 30' piece. Hook one end to the AM antenna jack on your receiver and try to get the remaining wire up as high and as straight as you can. But don't go nuts...I've run the wire out a window and along the eaves just under the house and its worked great. And you can't beat the price! Good luck!

Looking at the antenna, it's clearly designed to be 'indoors'. I guess it would work outside for a while, but longer term it might corrode - or the plastic may deteriorate.A more serious issue about putting it outdoors is the cable length - only a meter, so it might not reach the module.I bought some adapters to take the fitting to a BNC, and purchased an outdoor antenna on a long cable, but was many times the cost of the original unit.ALSO: If you are putting the module on a long (eg 4 meter) USB cable, use a high quality cable to avoid voltage drops on the cable, particularly if using the module with a baby computer like a Raspberry Pi.
