Is this a self grounding antenna?

The antenna must be physicallly grounded to the system and the SWR is adjustable but quite sensitive.

No grounding is needed. All you do is hook up the coaxial cable and the power source can be close to your TV.

Here is a stupid answer: don't put your antenna on the ground. The reception will be better if it is high off of the ground. Otherwise, I do not know how to ground an antenna.

Not necessarily. Found that my problem was not related to cable per se and hence, I did not need this ground isolator. It was picking up interference from a cheap "f" coupler that connected two pieces of RG6 coax. "F" connections have to be rock solid. Use only pressure connectors.

The only ground is the electrical power ground and the magnetic field if the antenna base. Works fine

I don't know what to say about the kind of antenna it has. It's small. I tried to find an extension cord for it. I went to Fry's Electronics, Radio Shack and I looked on the internet and I couldn't find anything with a connector like what this antenna has. The antenna did a good job of picking up the radios station that I wanted to listen to at my desk. I set it on the window sill. I'm not using this device any longer. Read my review of this Antenna for additional information.

Grounding any antenna is not required for indoor use including attic installations. To reduce the chances of your antenna or mast being struck by lightning, follow the National or Local Electrical Codes to properly ground these items during installation. Grounding will eliminate static electricity, as well as protect against energy to the mast if the antenna comes in contact with live electrical wires. The National Electrical Code includes the requirements for grounding your antenna or mast in Article 810. Please consult the NEC, a local licensed electrician, or a local electrical inspector for details.If outdoor, we suggest that antennas should be grounded according to your local electrical codes.

Yes it is, but you reduce your signal strength by splitting the signal. I recommend one antenna for each tv. Also be sure to ground your antenna. Not only does it protect your home against lightning strikes, in my case it improved my signal. I have been using my GE 24769 antenna now for several months and absolutely love it.

It's an outdoor antenna, available in narrow or wide focus, which feeds to an indoor broadcast unit. The 6v adapter failed almost immediately on mine, and the increase was disappointing enough that i didn't notice it wasn't working at all for a while. I got rid of the cellular broadband as an internet hookup, and haven't used this thing since. It's better suited for an area with problem connection, as having to get over or around a building, as you can put the antenna where it works best. I think there are better devices to just boost the signal you have.

Its a ground wire and it conects under the radio i cut my old wire and spiced it in alot easier than taking it all apart hope this help .

Yes it is self powered, hence the need to plug it into an electrical outlet. Just make sure u recieve an updated SERIES II transmitter!!

cable still needs to be grounded, outside of cable plug (gold plated part) acts as ground

From my understanding, it is a stand alone device. There is no need to connect it to a ground.

No, if your outlets have the little tunnel looking hole, that is the ground. An you receive the device to check the ground.

I have this unit mounted on my shed and is not grounded. It is only hooked up to the receiver and it works well

No, this is a digital antenna and it's a good one. I'm very pleased with mine.

I have used it without grounding the preamp. It worked perfectly, and, the instructions say nothing about your question, so I don't think it is a problem to worry about.
