Does this pick up signals from all directions or would I need to rotate it?

It should be all directions. The rotation isn't so much the issue as placement. Basically, turning it like a steering wheel does nothing, but turning it left or right on the horizontal plane might help. The greatest difference is placement near a window or some location in the house that isn't behind a lot of concrete, metal or some other source of interference.

It pretty much covers 360 degrees from my experience. Even when I'm in my kitchen (it's by the front door) it barks from movement. It you only want it to work facing one direction, you'd need to put something around the area where you don't want it to respond to make it directional.

It is not directional. Passing vehicles will activate the alarm provided sensor is not more than 4 feet from edge of driveway. It works great for me. Wade

I use mine indoors to pick up local channels, but it doesn't pick up all local channels. I would say the antenna is directional, meaning by rotating it, it will pick up signals from a different direction. It being in a moving vehicle I would think it is changing directions constantly signal strength varies constantly. Analog signals can very in strength and your picture can still be seen, but digital signals are either on, or disappear when signal strength drops. Your antenna location could be hampering your signal reception also.

It depends how you you mount it. There is an arrow to tell you which way the air is flowing so you should be able to rotate it to the direction desired. I needed it to suck and was mounting it inside a box followed the arrow and it worked wonderfully.

It will. If a signal is in the area, it will pick it up . Just follow directions in the manual. Try WiFi calling if your mobile allows it.its a plus for me.

Yes. It will pick up the channels you have asked about. Example in my area: 9.1, 9.2, 21.1, 21.2, 21.3. Unit works very well. One thing to remember if you have a directional antenna outside on a tower, it may only pick up stations it is pointed at when you do a scan for channels.

Hi, Unfortunately, no. We've had this booster installed in our apartment since we received it and it has not made any difference whatsoever. We live out in the middle of nowhere and the building has some kind of aluminum or metal on the outside, so I don't know if it interferes with the signal. Regardless, we have not seen any difference in the signal. I'm not trying to trash the product, maybe it works with someone who lives in a more densely populated area, but it just doesn't help us at all. I wish I would have saved the money for something else. God Bless You

supposed to point the side that sais alfa towards the direction of the signal.....this one works better than the standard 5 dbi and 9 dbi...i havent tride all their product yet tho go to www.alfa.com.tw

The best approach is to rotate the antenna in steps of a few degrees at a time, while connected to a TV, until the strongest signal is located. This method will automatically answer your question

Yes, it provides the same signal just to an area the you are having difficulty getting a signal. What you have is what you get! It just moves it to a location that you didn't have it.

If you have stations in different directions and wish to get all of them, you will need a rotor as antenna is directional. Would have worked for me but two stations were in line with each other and I had. problem pulling in the CBS station. House has trees around it and I placed the antenna in the attic and I'm in a low area. TV station towers were approx 35 miles away.

It is supposed to be omni-directional, but you might have to move it around a bit, and reception is dependent on various factors to your locality, so it doesn't do any good to ask someone else how well it works.

Assume this will work as long as you follow the directions on which way to connect the directional cable. If you get it backwards it will not work.

I originally used the omnidirectional antenna. Yuck. This directional antenna improved the signal strength by at least 4X.

If it was permanently mounted you would have to park your vehicle in the correct orientation to get the signal. The unit must be pointing south, your RV would have to be facing south as well. Just set it inside when traveling and place it on the roof when you park.

Yes but it needs to be set (programmed) to do one or the other; not both. They're cheap enough; use 2, one for each direction.
