How does it preform with a reel antenna?

Yozy please forget. It's very crappy. Reception is terrible and audio quality abominable. Quite unlike Grundig. Waste of time.

I agree. I bought a better antenna and it works as good as any handheld I've had or had experience with. WELL worth the money!

I suspect this questioner is talking about a "straight" telescoping antenna. I believe that there is no external antenna connections on the receiver. If that is the case, then this antenna is not the solution to the "static and poor reception"..

The included external antenna works surprisingly well . I live in a remote location and have always had to modify my radio antennas. I believe the five to one tuning ratio is helpful in this regard allowing very fine tuning

Just Jerry-Rig it with a hook and strong packing tape to attach the hook to the antenna. I did this and uses two hooks to hang it from the curtain rod.

Im not sure I understand the question but if you are asking about antenna feed its good to go. Just hook it up and look for your stations,

It clamps onto rod/pipe(you supply) You'll need cable at appropriate length from unit to antenna.

All good information except never tape the cable to the mast you need to run 4" stand offs, they are available anywhere that sells antenna equipment. Also keep the cable away from metal gutters etc..

I don't quite know, but it is short and the antenna falls when you try to lean it in a different angle. The botton of it does not stay unless it is straight up.

The reel on this unit is not very good . I would not get it. If you are trying to catch big fish it will not be ver strong

I get stations that are within 50 miles of me, all the locals except for Fox, and I'm sure if I moved my antenna around some, I could pick it up too. The remote works good, just barely touch it to turn. I believe it goes one way, then reverses, so you can fine tune in the channels. For the price of the antenna I am very happy with it. Maybe one day I will turn it towards Tallahassee and see if I can pick up stations further away, but already getting 10 channels coming in great, and no more than I watch, works great for me. Hope this helped some.

I have a telescoping antenna from a previous HDTV OTA tuner that has a heavier and magnetic base, however, it doesn't have any better/worse reception than this "V" antenna, which is so flimsy, each individual antennae isn't strong enough to stay in any fixed "up" position. Because the antenna is removable, pickup a cheap larger HDTV antenna and give it a try.

(1) Yes, no problems at all. (2) Don't remember, but it is very durable and no problems. (3) The reel swivels in one dimension. That works fine for every application I've had. The real issue is, does the cord stop when you want it to stop, and does it return when you want it to return. The answer is yes. Also, the cords are flexible and seem to be of high quality. Absolutely no problems to date.

It's really easy to attach the reel. There is a reel seat in the handle with a threaded collar that screws down to hold the reel securely in place. Once you have it in hand, you'll instantly see how it's done.

It's designed to tie to your line and cast it out, buttttttt it has not worked past about 10 feet out for me and when I'm fishing with a bobber like this I cast out quite a ways, I have been using it with my small aluminum boat and it works fine.

Absolutely fine. This is a very good, highly directional antenna. I tried a RCA from Walmart and took it back. This solved my problems.

The antenna is attached to a stationary base and does not rotate like a propeller. I never tried it outdoors. it is extremely directional. The Lava HD-463 is a much better antenna. It is amplified and rotates on its base. It picks up way more stations.
