I keep reading about lame/poor Ka range. This is CRITICAL for me where I live! Please someone chime in on this???

Ka on-axis is very strong with the Whistler C+ platform (78SE/CR85/CR90/Pro-3600). Off-axis performance is weak. However, KA head-on, ESP. 34.7 is no problem for this detector. Also, Whistlers are very responsive, meaning that against KA instant-on you're probably better with this than an Escort.K band performance isn't great, however. If it alerts K band you need to hop on it ASAP.

This is a mid-range antenna, not a long range. And, I'm in a reception "hole" since broadcast went digital. When broadcast was analog, I could receive Dayton channels, sixty plus miles away. I could not receive even the strongest station with this antenna; but I can receive the Public channel, Bowling Green , which is slightly further away in the opposite direction. I'm not familiar with the antenna to which you referred in your query. If it works well for you, let me know.

yes i'm on capitol hill in the us. it worked when I first got it but now it says everything is "out of range" or "impossible" when I try to call out. And, I'm computer literate just needed to replace the cordless old phone I had. Now I got to invest in another new phone as Amazon seller won't corrispond to my complaint.

I live about 15 miles from the antenna that transmits the signals from most of the stations and I get very good reception. I have mine in the basement and I have a very small window facing the direction where the antenna is, and I get all of the channels. Here in Minneapolis and St. Paul, there are a couple of main antennas that do this and I happen to know where they are. Maybe you are not facing the right direction, or maybe there are too many buildings or interference in the way, or maybe you live too far. Find out where the antenna that transmits the signal is and make it face that way. Since I bought mine, I get all of the channels. Before this one, I tried two different ones (RCA and another one) and neither worked. This one is so far by far the best. I think if I bring it to the main floor I will even get more channels. I hope it helps.

I bought two units. The one I'm using at my house has worked flawlessly from about a hundred feet away over the last few months. However the one I purchased for my sister -in-law sits at a slight depresion down the hill from her house and only functions sporatically. It appears to be simply a matter of signal blockage. As someone else suggested, you might try extending the transmitting antenna outside the mailbox.

every area has different characteristics, and RF interference, my signals are making it over 50 miles and sharp, if the broadcast towers are unobstructed between you and them, i.e. on top of tall buildings it shouldn't be a problem, there are online resources to give you estimated channel reception, take what it says and the Mohu should out perform that substantially

I'm not sure what the range is. I live in Manhattan and though it mostly works ok it's not without need of adjustment. I was hoping to place it in a convenient spot and forget about it but I have to adjust it often. Living in Manhattan I would opt for a more expensive and hopefully more powerful antenna.

It has a range from 88.1 all the way up to 107.9. It's just a matter of which ones are usable, depending on the area. 105.5 works best for me in my neck of the woods.

Sorry, I didn't keep the packaging, but this is probably avail on their website. For what it's worth, I'm ~50 miles from the transmitters, my antenna is in my second floor attic, and it works great. Not perfect - occasionally I get what presents itself like packet loss, but it's pretty rare. I'm glad I dumped cable. My .02. Good luck.

Not good at all...I'm in your typical suberb approximately 60 miles from a major city. If I hit "scan" on my radio, it will only stop at one station which is our local radio station. Even if you only listen to FM for traffic reports or whatever, it'll drive you nuts. Save the money

Pete, I used my new 610 with my brother in laws 500 series hunting this last year. We had good voice reception over 3+ miles in hilly terrain. We really did not get to try them in longer ranges than that. My experience with the mapping was spotty. It may have been because of the model differences (610 vs 500 series) but I was not getting good location marks from my Bro in laws radio.

I live in the suburbs 30 miles from city. This picked up worse than regular rabbit ears. I returned mine.

I just tried the http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ link for the online map in my area. My line of sight is marginal and the distance is about 65 miles. The online map gives me the highest signal strengths on 16 channels. I know the reception of the 4 major broadcast channels at my location to be marginal with one basically no reception. So don't put a lot into trusting the online map.

Carlos - CL81201 has exceptional range potential; however, range can never be predicted, as it varies from one environment to another. Buy with confidence, as our phones feature unsurpassed range. Thanks!

Dear Donna. From my experience with this product so far, it does not work as advertised. I live in a hilly area, about 4 miles from a tower. I get average bars of signal at my house without the unit. The only thing the unit seems to boost is the Wi-Fi strength if my wireless internet in the house. It dies nit seem to boost my cell signal whatsoever. Sincerely, Ken W.

I have in my attic of my house. I live about 25 miles from Cleveland Ohio. It works great. My sister lives 16 miles farther than me and I know she has excellent reception. I bought a 3 way booster for my other sets from radio shack and its been very good for me and another friend also.

I don't buddy but they are pretty basic calls that were on it. I downloaded more from their website. Pretty much the main ones I use are from their site and free. As far as distance. I would say 30 to 50 yds has been my ranges as far as puttin the call out. Hope this helps. Bruce
