I had a tree branch fall and broke one half of the antenna. Can I purhase a new section without having to buy the hole antenna?

I had a branch I cut land on the son gun, and broke mine, but it tipped down was all. Still works like a champ (my 8200U) and have another property and want the same thing. I am awaiting answer to see if indeed it is a 8200U as description states, unlike selection box that states 8220. perplexed. But, do you have image issues or is it working the same ? If so, run with it. If not, do you have a pre-amp ? If not, get one. Mine gets a 2 hr drive away at nite or early day, to the west (pointed NE) and 68 miles South, same time frames.

Sounds like some of the elements- rods sticking out on antenna broke. Assuming mast is I damaged. You will have to buy a new antenna. If you have an attic or space above garage you may wish to try attic installation. YouTube has many videos showing how.

I wouldn't think so. That would be like going into a shoe store and asking for one shoe.

Most antennas can be unscrewed. Failing that, there is probably enough space to put the board to one side of the antenna.

Yes, you can unscrew the antenna, but since the antenna cable is hard-wired, no connector on the antenna base, you cannot put away the antenna.

Yes, I would be careful about doing it yourself. I followed the instructions acutely and watched youtube videos to guide me. Unfortunately, after I assembled the new iPhone case the antenna for my phone would say I was only getting 1 bar of service and I live in metro detroit. Before I had full bars but at times I would be driving on the freeway and drop calls unexpectedly. Be careful on putting the phone back together because you might think you did everything correct and then have a mistake like me. That's my experience. Hope this helps.

Hi, this comes with a foot long piece that screws to the roof. I didn't want to screw my newer roof so i strapped it to a roof vent facing South with out the stand. I get way better reception than I did from my indoor antenna.

The antenna is detachable and I think it can be replaced with another SMA antenna; the connector is SMA like however I really didn't test it so I can't be 100% shure but I would say it is likely.

Yes you can. We have a rather large service center, these have worked out great. Had to replace a couple of antenna's from droppage and also belt clips!!!

Hi, just checked aetertek website- they do sell replacement antennas for 4.99

I could find one, so I quickly removed antennae, with open end wrench and put the antennae inside for replacement once I take the cover off.

Yes, you will need some strong wire cutters. I just wrap the excess around the tree for extra support.

There is no precut hole for the antenna. I just figured out where the antenna would be and cut a hole about an inch around. Alternatively, you could remove the antenna. Hope this helps!

Not this particular product. You'll have to buy the antenna separate, or buy the Street Atlas that includes the antenna. They run around $50.

yes you can mount the 99 on a tree limb, but, if you do so, you must, run a 12 gauge copper wire (strained or solid) if any coating is on the wire, peel it back 18" from the end and wrap the bare part around the bottom of the 99 antenna where normally the 2 mounting clamps go, after wraping tight, take some good, not the cheap type electrical tape and wrap around all the expose copper wire you just wrapped, make a solid wrap around at least 5 times around. where the taped ends when you cut it off from the roll, take a plastic tie wrap and put it close to the end of the tape, so later on, it can"t come un_done. now the length of the copper wire must be long enough to run down your tree to the bottom of the ground. now get you a grounding stake from lowes or home depot and close to the tree or where ever you want to put it, drive it into the ground where theres only 6" sticking up. now at the end of your 12 gauge copper wire cut back 12" of insulation and wrap the bare copper wire from the end around the grounding stake tight thats sticking out of the ground. take 2 radiator clamps 1 1/2" and tighten around and over the bare copper wire and tighten each one as you go to get as tight as possible, but don't over tighten. thats it, run your coax from the antenna along your ground wire down to about 15 feet from the bottom of the tree and let the coax swing over to the corner of your house or shed and then run it where it need to go to get to your radio. your done, also, remember on the 99 antenna, they must be as high as 36 feet to work 100%, but, the higher you get it, the better it operates on transmit and especially receive..... good luck! enjoy! daymon

Yes and you can use any antenna you want that is equipped with the standard connector. The included antennas are good enough to put out/receive a powerful signal so there shouldn't be a need to replace them.

as you may know their are two parts to that wire, the new antenna comes with a lead out of it and you can get a termination kit to fasten the coaxial again, as far as it pulling out all the way out of the antenna, I'm not sure.

Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic. Just mount the pole on the crossbeam somewhere and then aim it in the appropriate direction. In my case I bought a $10.00 pre-amp to give the signal a boost but I probably would not need it. It sounds like it will be outside. That's ok. Just a utility pole of some kind will work. I assume you will anchor it with a cement foundation, which is why mounting it inside(in the attic)works better. It is a Great Antenna and delivers HD pictures. You save money too. You won't need Cable or Satellite Dish anymore.
