It may not pull-in a station 61 miles away.  As with any antenna that has to reach distant stations, the weather becomes a factor, including fog.

it did not work in my area, but does not mean it will not work for someone else.

I bought the 60 mile, square, amplified model and it works perfectly.  I have it hanging inside the house for now with no problems in reception.  My closest station is about 20 miles and the furthest is listed at 46.  I pick them all up nice and clear.  I live in a hilly area that is densely populated and has lots of trees.  Only time I get a signal glitch is one of the closer stations in a heavy downpour.

I understand the physics behind radio range.  I understand that claims are based on ideal conditions.  However, with that said and a claimed range of 18 miles I had what I thought was a resonable expectation of 6-8 miles on an 18 mile radio.  Apparently I was wrong.  In an open urban park setting with a river down the middle, I was barely able to squeak out 2 miles.  If the manufacturer is going to put a range of 18 miles on the package, they really ought to be able to deliver more than 10% of the claim under real world conditions.  Overall, an excellent radio.  Just disappointing range.

This is advertised as having a 600 ft range. I can't get it to work beyond 40 feet, which isn't quite far enough to stop my dog from heading out of our yard. I even put in a fresh 9 volt thinking that the one it came with was shot, but that only helped a little bit.  (with the battery that came with it, I had to literally be right next to the dog for it to work; with the duracell battery that I put in, I can get about 30-40 feet with it.  I do like the idea of a plug in charger, but the little charger end that fits into the receptacle on the collar is very flimsy, and bends to the side with the slightest pressure, so I'm afraid it will break off if anyone is not ever so careful with it.  I should probably return this.

As expected quality and for the price it was a worthwhile experiment. But I seriously doubt the 80-mile claim. I'm 63 miles out and it does pick up most of the stations, but average signal strength on both my Sony and Samsung HDTV's max's out at around 50-55. I ended up purchasing a MUCH more expensive Antennas Direct square array model that worked a lot better and pulled in an additional 11 stations. Still, timely deliver, ease of returns and low cost made it a no-brainer to try first.

While easy to set up and use,  it is not picking up the stations more than 50 miles away, even though it is a 150 mile antenna. We'll continue to work with it, but wish it would pick up advertised range.

I live about 15 miles outside of a major city. Didn't lose any local stations/substations that I'm aware of. I still clearly pick up a non-local station that is 50+ miles away, but did lose those substations.

Note: the antenna mast is actually four pieces (antenna, threaded connector, base, and adapter). To avoid a gap between the antenna and vehicle, I suggest screwing the adapter into the vehicle first, followed by the base, threaded connector, and then the antenna.

When I picked this thing up I thought, "No way this thing will do anything worthwhile!" I was wrong! When used with the Little RCA ANT751 Antenna this thing brought in 12 more stations, from 20 to 48 miles away.

This works but it doesn't pick up stations as far away as advertised. I live in a pretty flat area, there are no hills or mountains. I'm not sure what's preventing it from picking up signal but there's a main network station only 20 miles away and I receive that signal very spotty and intermittently. Other stations, that are also only about 20 miles away come and go also. I'm hesitant to say it's the fault of the antenna, I really don't know what is causing the problem. It works ok, and I do use it everyday, it's a good alternative to cable, and the picture (when it does come in) is better than cable. I think I would recommend getting an antenna much more powerful than you think you'll need.

After reading many of the very positive reviews, I ordered this antenna and set it up in an optimal position for reception. However, even though the product description boasts of a 50-mile reception radius, it was not even capable of picking up one of the most powerful stations in our area 8.2 miles away! Our old rabbit ears, one of which is broken, had no problems at all with that station. Do NOT believe everything you read. I

Item has a very short distance ratio to pick up any signals. I've placed it 30-plus feet in the air, pointed it in three different directions and it still only picks up a few stations. First, it picked up 7 stations, then the next morning, they were all gone and I had to rescan. Next scan only 2 showed up and they were unclear/pixelated. It looks nice and installation is a snap, but it will not work in a remote area more than 20 miles from a signal relay station.

This product works well if the towers are close. I know there are towers within 30 miles that this antenna has a hard time maintaining a steady connection with. So the 60 mile rating is a bit of false advertising (yes I have it on a window in the direction of the antennas). But for close towers this does work well.

EDIT: Customer service worked with me and resolved my issues. Great company.

Seems the antenna is more directional than you might think.  Installed outside at about 12-feet off the ground on the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.  I am 24-28 miles from the broadcast antennas and less than a 5-degree spread between them all.  Not scientific, but checked signal strength on a Toshiba TV for a High-VHF digital station and initially got 50%, by rotating the antenna was able to get it up over 90%.  There is only one High-VHF station in our area and this antenna fills the bill, added a DB4 antenna for the UHF.  Overall, both are still pretty compact.

It is advertised as antenna with 30 mile range. I live 18 miles from downtown Chicago and I am not able to get CBS. I live in a ranch style house and living room window is facing east, downtown. I get all the other channels most of which are not that interesting but failure to get CBS is a deal breaker. Maybe it would work better in the building little higher of the ground. Anyhow, wonderful designed antenna almost an art peace. In my case it just did not produce.

Very good antenna and well made. My local station transmitters are about 30 miles away in two directions. I have my the antenna placed on top of my entertainment center in my house and I get all my locals stations with good signal strength. I am sure if I had the antenna in my attic or outside it would work even better and maybe pick up one or two farther stations.

Can't say I would stand on a soapbox espousing platitudes about this product. It does work with limited success. It will not go a 1/4 mile or work through steel buildings. I bought this to keep an eye on my three freezers that are located in out-buildings. There does not seem to be a way to calibrate the sending units to a known standard, making you wonder at first why the temerature is much different than you thought it would or should be. This all being said, I intend to modify them slightly for better, stronger signal, and they should be a decent platform for that. Overall, it would seem that these units are better than most.
