is this antenna amplified?

Yes it is as soon as you hit the switch you have multiple channels to choose from hope this helps you decide ted

our's goes through a factory installed amp. with the amp, it must be on for even the original antennae to work. the coax is wired that way but i don't see why the new antennae wouldn't work without an amp. either way the rvw- was a good buy for us.

Yes it is, but it is sold separately , or you just route it in to your existing RV power line.

As you can see the antenna is a telescoping rod. I took it to a town 10 miles north of the station and had trouble pulling in my HD channel. So it's not so hot when it comes to sensitivity. (Selectivity is marvelous, since it's "all or nothing" with HD radio.)

no difference, but unless you're this antenna attatching it to an RV, get the cheaper $30 amplified HD antenna

BUT, if you look at the gain figures in the little chart (one of the images), you'll see that this antenna is essentially unity gain, with no directivity, for channels 7 through 13 (174-216 MHz).I think it's pretty safe to assume that this is a UHF antenna! (Channels 14 through 69, or wherever they stop now. Ch. 56?)I notice that some of the reviews mention this same thing - that VHF-Hi reception is poor.So you may want to keep this in mind, if any of your ATSC stations operate on channels 7 - 13.

This antenna is a step up from a wire antenna, but it can't do much in your situation. It can go from almost-good reception to good reception. Sounds like you'll need an amplified antenna. You may even need to install an outdoor one to get reliable reception.

It will work with a HD signal. Should have no issues with amplified signal.

If you can hear the station that you are talking about without the antenna then yes having an amplified antenna would help greatly but if you have nothing but static then that is all you will have with the antenna because and aunt Anna can only amplify noise if that's all it has hope this helped

Where I live I was able to just connect to the cable and that was it. No additional power. Some reviews said they needed an amplifier others said an amp made reception worse. I guess it all depends on your location.

Absolutely fine. This is a very good, highly directional antenna. I tried a RCA from Walmart and took it back. This solved my problems.

Yes, with the plug in antenna the FM reception is good. However, AM is terrible.

I talked to RCA about that and did not get any useable response. According to their website description of those antennas (they have 3 similar ones, amplifier/not amplified/superior reception). I would think that an amplified would allow you to get good reception when having a weak signal, but that would be the only benefit.We know have the antenna sitting in a bookshelf at the bottom, behind some pictures, hardly noticeable. Reception is the same, flawless. And no external power supply needed. Keep in mind that thanks to Amazon's great business policies, you can return the item within 30 days in case you are dissatisfied. I talked to RCA about that and did not get any useable response.

I haven't had any luck with high VHF channels with this antenna. An amplified leaf antenna did better.

No. This is designed to work with non amplified antennas. You would burn out one the amps. Maybe both.

Unfortunately it is. I just pick out a couple of favorite stations and go with that. I like the local sports station on AM, but it's tricky to pull in. I think the problem is mostly in the antenna. I believe some users have come up with some type of amplifacation . The radio case is quality built, don't know why Dewalt can't figure out their customers want "quality" in radio reception as in their tools.

The Amplified version get better reception. It also allows you to place the antenna on an interior wall if desired.

I'm sorry to say, neither. I tried three of these Sangean ANT-100 antennas on two different Sangean CL-100 radios and there was absolutely no signal improvement whatsoever on ANY band (AM, FM or NOAA). The signal I was receiving prior to attaching this "antenna" greatly degraded the moment I plugged it in. I also took the liberty of trying this "antenna" on several other radios in my home and unfortunately, I obtained the same result. In my opinion (and experience), this so-called "antenna" is literally worthless and Amazon should discontinue this product immediately.

Yes, but the amount of amplification you'll get is minimal. If your picture is bad with an indoor antenna, the amplifier will make it "slightly less bad",not really an improvement for the money spent.
