Will this Opek Tri-Band Antenna boost my signal &amp; work well with a Kenwood THF-6A Handheld Ham Radio?

I only used it for scanner not xmit. It did no better than uniden supplied rubber duck which is very good. I have been unable to surpass it with anything. I have ken wood transceivers UHF and they do well on ken wood rubber ducks but UHF antennas on car roofs boost signal car to car.

I would try it with the omni antenna that comes with the booster. You can always add the directional Wilson later if you need to.

This antenna is tuned for VHF (Marine Band) and not HF (CB Band), so if used for CB it would have high SWRs and not be very efficient. Good chance it could harm your CB radio. I wouldn't use it on my CB.

Yes, this antenna will work just like the old rabbit ears antenna I assume you have at present. Only difference is this flatwave antenna will work better.

Well that depends if there are two connection terminals (positive & negative) for the antenna on the back of your system. If so, this antenna will vastly improve your FM reception. I have a 40 year old Pioneer SX-636 AM/FM receiver and live in the countryside. After adding this antenna to my system it now picks up numerous FM stations that I could not tune in before. I am quite elated and satisfied with the antenna.

I am Ham operator, I took this antenna shortened it to work on 10 meters. I have it in my attic and it works awesome, I have been able to work many country's. I'm sure your idea will work fine.

It increased the reception on my BaoFeng *UV-5R Plus* UV 5R+ Dual-Band 136-174/400-480 MHz FM Ham Two-way Radio. I'm not an expert, but I would think it would help.

Yes it will work. The antenna comes with adapters to suit your application.

It's hard for me to say since I live in a metropolitan area. I will say that it worked no better than my original Mohu Leaf antenna, so I returned it. Check out http://www.antennaweb.org, you type in your zip and it will give you information about what antenna may work best and which stations you should receive.

Yes, it works and is very amazing at the preformance over the stock antenna. You will see the difference immediately.

If you're receiving a good signal now, the amplifier will strengthen it considerably. It shoudl work the same with an attic antenna as it does one placed outdoors.

Yes, it will. You will probably have to do some fine tuning, yet extend the telescopic antenna before you do so. The relative success of which may depend upon how good your current signal is or if you are located in a larger city or rural location.

You bet it works for that! I'm 40+ miles away from the DTV transmitter sites. Have a CM4228 antenna in the attic. Been using an EDA-2100 to boost the signals. Works great! In fact, I just cascaded a second amp to improve our Fox TV affiliate signal just a bit. So I have two of these amps essentially on series. No overload, and they work great in this configuration.

I have just used the antenna that came with my radio and it has worked fine. I make sure that the antenna is straight and fastened at a height that is higher than the radio. And be sure that the antenna is pushed in as far as it can.

yes, you will, amazon makes some recommendations about various antenna's available for this unit.

This device is a just a signal booster so the antenna type shouldn't matter even thought the instructions show an omni-directional antenna. The unit comes with a very short RP-SMA female to female cable to connect to a wireless signal source. The output cable you will need to get to connect to the antenna also needs an RP-SMA female connector. Just remember the length of the cable decreases the power.

Sure. I build antennas all the time and I get perfect pictures for about $15 in materials and 30 minutes of my time. I have no problems using any signal booster on my antennas. Really, it is just the signal that is digital and most any antenna can get a digital signal . . . but the signal booster does just what it says, it boosts the signal that the antenna receives. Careful to buy the right booster for your area (there are two models) as one will overdrive the signal and your reception will actually be worse.
