Will i get a signal that is 60 miles away ?

I get great reception with the new terk antennae, I am about 25 miles away from the tv towers. I have the non amplified version, however I bought the amplified version for my step father and it doesn't seem to work any better for him and he is about 20 miles from the tv towers.

That depends on if the distant antenna is obstructed or not, and the power of the stations signal. Sixty miles I think is in the range of the Terk, but don't blame the Terk if you can't get that signal, there are lots of other variables. I've found the Terk isn't really anything magical, if any antenna in your area pick up the signal your looking for, then the Terk will also, you may get 1 or 2 db gain or loss of signal. The thing about this Terk is the longer antenna's, that's the difference. We bought this Terk for a signal only about 40 miles away, but the mountains blocked the signal so it didn't help. Everyone in that particular town has to use cable. That depends on if the distant antenna is obstructed or not, and the power of the stations signal.

You might. It depends on hills, large buildings etc. but this antenna is little better than standard rabbit ears, so it's not going to work miracles.

I am 30 miles away from broadcast towers and although they are quite clear, the lower channels are tough to tune in. I'd say you should probably go with a larger outdoor antenna at that distance.

I am 60 miles away from the nearest tower and in a low area. Don't know what an F connection is.

It really depends on signal strength more than distance. There are some websites that will tell you what the typical signal stength is in your zip code area.

Yes. I get channels from 180 miles away. About 150 air miles. Best antenna on the market.

I get a pretty strong signal up to 50 feet. It's one of the best investments I've ever made. I love it! Hope this helps you with your decision to purchase one!

I had nothing but trouble with 2 of those amplifier. To get stations 70 and 20 miles away I put outside antennas with a pre amp plus a rotor to fine tune reception. If your stations are close, you will still need at least a small outdoor antenna. HD stations need good signal reception.

In Providence, RI, using an amplifier with the antenna I was able to pick up a station in Worcester, MA. The distance is about 40 miles. I think you should be able to pick up channels from even further. My location was in a metal frame building, on a balcony, in a river valley, surrounded by tall trees, and in hilly New England.

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

sorry, i can't answer that. most of my signals are from the closest big city which is 20 miles away, but i get excellent signals from those channels. hope this helps.

Go on tvfool.com to see how far away the station signals are from you. If farther than like 40 miles, you may want to get a signal booster, otherwise you dont need anything except this antenna and some coaxial cable to go from the antenna to your tv. You will need a compass (or use a smartphone app) to set the direction of the antenna, and two wrenches to tighten up the antenna. Thats it.

I can receive all the signals available in a 20 to 40 mile radius of my home. I can't say how far I am from all the towers but somewhere between 20 and 40 miles. Another set of towers are 50 to 60 miles away him and I cannot get any of them.

It will pick up signal from a home 500 ft away, but it depends on different factors such as: topography, surrounding vegetation, and others. If it is a flat and clear area you should have no problem getting signal, but i cannot guarantee 3 bars.

Yes, as long as you are no more than 50 miles from the tower. You may need an electrical amplifier for the signal, but I have five amplified antennas in my attic, alligned with the Terk map online to match the compass setting for each station, and my HDTV off air is better than my FIOS, which I have also to get faster internet than I could with a DSL connection.

Answer to your question is Yes. However, you will be very disappointed with the communicating range of these units.

I doubt it very much. I have trouble getting a good solid signal from stations only a dozen miles away. The signal strength meter jumps all over the place. If you have the antenna on the 2nd story you will have better luck.

I have been able to work 2-meter repeaters 45 miles away with a telescopic antenna. It depends upon the terrain of course.

Line of sight as far as you can see. If you have a good antenna (to a certain extent, bigger is better) and a good location (up high above everything) you can easily get over 80 miles direct. I use a repeater (located on a mountain top) that is about 80 miles from me and it is no problem. My signal relayed through that repeater can go even farther, another 100 miles.
