I just bought this am21n to use with my hr44-700 What else do I need? Do I need this at all or just an antenna?

you should not need anything else. The am21n tuner is to use with your roof top antenna and your directv receiver. We just ran a coax from the am21n to the directv receiver. The on screen instructions were very helpful The am21n allows you to record (DVR) the over the air roof top channels.

You need an antennae yes. Then connect the antenna to the am21 and connect that to your Directv receiver and it will add the over-the-air channels right into your program guide.

If you are wanting to get local channels, you will need to connect the am21n to an airial antenna using a cable of course. It works great, because it provides you with free / non paying for local channels that you can use your genie to control with. Program guide, search, recording and all other same features that you have with your cable channels available now. He this helps!

You need a digital antenna which you connect to the AM21 and then the AM21 connects to your HR44 via the USB connections

You will need an over the air antenna. To work with this unit. The am21n allows you to view your over air channels on the directv guide and allows you to record up to 2 over air channels. The only drawback to this tuner it doesn't search for channels. You must input your zip code to access their channel database. You can put in 2 zip codes for different markets. The problem with this database is directv doesn't update it. So if your local station has added sub channels within the last couple years, they might not be added.

Great, just hook it up to a GOOD outside antenna and plug it into the power and USB on your receiver and it will assist you Good Luck

I never been on 440 until I bought my Baofeng radio. I used the dual band antenna I bought, and the magmount dual band. Both work great, able to get into a 440 machine over the 20-30 mile trip, into the machine. Not sure if this is the mag mount your asking about, or the other antenna. The other antenna works better then the original antenna that came with it.

I have no idea but theoretically it shouldn't need it. All I know is that it did not work at all for me. I returned it and I had to go back to a regular traditional style antenna.

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,

If you want this antenna you would need a "BNC Female to SMA Male Plug Coax Adapter". Just type this in on Amazon and you will find one for around $4.00 or $5.00. Remember that using an average adapter can cause signal loss in the neighborhood of 50%. A similar antenna on Amazon with a BNC connection is the "Accessories Unlimited AUSCAN3 16 Inch Magnet Mount Scanner Antenna". Research this one and see if this may be a better choice for you.

This may seem like an obvious first step, but do you have a UHF antenna hooked up to the AM21N? The digital TV channels are all on the UHF band, not the VHF band where the analog channels used to be. One way to test your antenna is if you have a digital-capable TV, hook up the antenna and run the TV's setup to see if you get the expected local channels. It also may take awhile before the locals load into the guide following setup. My AM21N didn't find all the locals in my area, but I was able to get most of them to appear.

hi, depends on the receiver, h25 needs the dongle uhf antenna, h20 needs the mini black uhf antenna, hr24 or h24 antenna is built in. thanks

You will need a compatible antena, the antenna mount (normally one will come with antenna but may not be correct for your set up), quality cable to connect to amp to interior antenna and another to go to the Exterriors antenna. Please keep in mind the two antenna must be separated by a minimum of 25 feet (in this case more is better as this is a very strong amp) to avoid interfering with each other.

It comes with everything you need to get on the air listening to stations and HAMS from around the world. You may want to consider a longwire or dipole antenna for better shortwave reception. It has provisions for hooking up a longwire or a 50OHM BNC adapter for better shortwave reception. A very good radio!

You always need a swr meter when setting up any new antenna! They will tell you that in the tuning instructions that come with the antena

Should have the adapter, you'll need to buy batteries, though...and it has several options for external antenna although the built in antenna works well. The rotating AM antenna really helps you zero in on long-distance AM

1. The extended battery is a new item recently released (late 2015) by this same seller (Baofeng Tech), so be sure to check their website www.baofengtech.com2. They should also sell the spare antennas, but there is also a better aftermarket Nagoya NA-702 specifically designed for 144/220 use. The 701 and 771 are 144/440 only so will not work well on 220.

I hooked this antenna up to an HDS 7 Gen2 and it works fine......but be aware that you can't just hook it up directly.....you also have to buy and install a NEMA 2000 "network" which has to have it's own power. It's not real difficult, but you do have to buy the cables etc (there is a starter kit) needed and hook up a separate power cord to the network cable between the antenna and the GPS unit. IF you're not installing the unit in a cabin (under roof) like I was you shouldn't need this separate antenna - the one in the unit should do the job.

You need to be more specific. Issues? I don't kow what you are referring to. 440 is a frequency range in the UHF band. That's all. The cable is designed to all you the use of a more effective antenna, hence the 259 adapter. Your choice of antenna should take into account the frequency you plan to use so that the most efficient antenna may be purchased. I hope this helps.dj, KJ6WSV

I am also not an expert, but I have an HR44 and HR24 with a Slimline 5. You really should talk with DIRECTV as I believe the whole house functionality with only work with 2 HR-XX's. I recommend replacing the B-Band converters and switching to SWM, as it eliminates the wiring mess from the dish. It works well. Be careful re the "Genie" ... DIRECTV seems to use the term to describe both the HR34 and the HR44. The HR44 is a significantly better unit. Smaller and near zero latency re channel switching. The HR34 has real problems. I got rid of mine.

You will need a antenna and I bought one from amazon. Look for marine antenna, it works great. Dual MAR16B Marine Flexible Mast Antenna Black, its small and works great.

I don't know what it will pick up, up there. You will need to get an inline booster. My channel 7.1 through 7.4 comes in good all the time. My channel 21.1 through 21.4 don't come in to good all the time, at night better. But I did not get any channel 21 before. I think I probably get couple other channels that I don't watch. I went on another site to see what channels, antennas would be out there, and how far away they are. And then pointed my antenna in that direction. Had to play with the ears, and antenna direction to get to work better. I hope this will help you make up your mind. I have not done anything to my antenna, but I have been thinking about screwing a bigger base on it.
