Can this antenna be mounted in an attic with good reception?

If the antenna will fit in the attic with good reception it will pick up great. This is one of the best antennas that I have ever owned. David Hamilton

Yes Christopher. This is exactly what we did. The Bearcat BC345CRS reception was significantly better! I connected it to the RG-6 cable and with an adapter connected it directly to the scanner via my wall plate cable connection being we don't have cable TV and use jacks anyway. Enjoy your scanner's better reception.

It is a very good antenna but I have this one on the roof. It is to tall for most atics so it may have to lay flat , Do not know if that works or not

I have the antenna mounted outside on a porch roof about 15' above ground w/ excellent reception; have had other antennas in attic also w/ excellent reception so ans is - Yes

The antenna will be fine in wind if you mount it properly. Don't secure it you might have a problem.

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.

Yes you can install it in the attic - however - if you have a metal roof, or foil sheeting for insulation, the signal will be very attenuated so that you may not have decent reception. If the roof is wood sheeting and shingles, etc. (typical) you will be fine. The antenna mounts easily on a piece of PVC or metal pipe supported by the rafters in the attic. If you have PLENTY of room, you could also add a rotator to aim the antenna at different stations on the horizon. I have installed this antenna in this configuration more than once with excellent results. Bill.....

I have installed the antenna in my attic. I receive some of the channels I was expecting to receive. I don't remember how far the range was suppose to be, but I am getting the range as advertised. Some of the towers are within that range, but I can barely get the signal or get no signal at all.

Yes. It is specifically designed to mount on a window giving outdoor antenna reception to an indoor radio without penetrating the home in any way.

I did not gnd it as my antenna was mounted in my attic. U can try to gnd to anything metal pipe which is going down to the ground

Mounted on roof should work great just aim correctly to get best signal. Install like any other large antenna. Its light weight for its size. Having flat terrain should work even better.

For sure. I live 40-60 miles from various towers in Detroit, Toledo and Lansing, and am in the woods. Mine is hanging indoors in my attic and I still get reception. I purchased based on feedback of reception strength at a distance.

I use it indoors so I would assume that mounting it in a garage attic is fine, so long as you can get it wired to your TV.

Yes. I mounted it in the attic and it works well. Our local stations' transmitters are pretty closely clustered and about 35 miles away (in Raleigh). I recommend the use of a compass (phone app works) and zip ties to get the antenna pointed just right.

well, I do not use mine in such a location, but, I do work in just such a building. The radio i use there is of better quality like this one, but to get better reception we attached a single strand of bell wire to the antenna and ran it up past the ceiling tile and poked about two feet out through the hole the phone wire comes in and just let it hang outside. not a real good antenna, but signal was boosted enough to give us clear tuning. This radio would be a good choice to use in this way.

It is somewhat, however, you will have to tweak it to find all the channels you want. There are a few weak stations that can only be received when I turn the antenna toward their towers. It is a balancing act to be able to pick up all the stations I want without having to move the antenna. Mine is in my attic.

Yes, you can mount the Cable Cutter in the attic. Although, in general this is not the best location for any antenna so mileage may vary. The Cable Cutter can be mounted outdoors as well as indoors. You can use any standard RG6 coaxial cable and yes you can split the signal. We usually recommend a drop amp if you are going to split the signal to boost the signal strength before you split the signal.

I would say yes, We have a high ceiling with no attic and My antenna is sitting on the floor of our loft leaning against a large window.

I would say you have to point it in a "general" direction. I'm in the middle of the city and I get amazing signal with this antenna just installed in the attic pointing north. (Just because the wood in the attic made the antenna point in that direction when I installed it)
