I agree. I bought a better antenna and it works as good as any handheld I've had or had experience with. WELL worth the money!

Hi! At the very least, I would recommend getting a leaf antenna. Such an antenna is relatively inexpensive ($25 or so) and should help you pull in more channels. The leaf antennas are small, portable and can be purchased in several finishes to help it blend in with your decor. I got an extra long co-axial cable so I had more options to experiment with the best most effective placement. Good Luck! I hope you have success!

Probably not a good idea to add more gain. A DA might help if you are trying to feed a lot of TVs from one antenna, The antenna you use is key to getting stations. Make it directional and as high as possible. Any amplifier should have a very low Noise Factor at UHF frequencies, which the LNA-100 was advertised to have. I tested it on a spectrum analyzer (I'm a TV engineer) and it performed as advertised.

A multi-band discone vertical antenna will work well for this radio. Make sure you get one that is designed to transmit on ten, six, two, and 70cm bands.

if the ad range is 60feet of RX power. Replace the stock antenna with a 2-3-4x higher dbi antenna (I believe this one features a RP-SMA antenna port vs the Miccus which is SMA port.) and you'll get a much better range and signal strength. I replaced my Miccus antenna with a 8dbi and i can basicly dance around the whole home in both TX and RX modes. But with the standard antenna i was only able to do half my home. And this is threw walls,etc. So if you get ether such. Highly suggest getting a upgrade antenna.

if you want any range at all, you have to buy a decent antenna. height counts, so a 6' - 8' antenna is a good choice.

Yes, but the gain is terrible, -4.0. 700-800 MHz, 1.9 dBi Gain 824-894 MHz, 5.12 dBi Gain 880-960 MHz, 3.1 dBi Gain 1710-1880 MHz, -4.0 dBi Gain 1850-1990 MHz, 6.12 dBi Gain 2110-2170 MHz, 2.3 dBi GainThis is the 4" antenna, 4.5 gain. Although smaller, the 4" antenna is waaay better. 700-800 MHz, 2.0 dBi Gain 824-894 MHz, 2.3 dBi Gain 880-960 MHz, 0.9 dBi Gain 1710-1880 MHz, 4.5 dBi Gain 1850-1990 MHz, 5.1 dBi Gain 2110-2170 MHz, 5.6 dBi Gain

SS-3000 is specifically designed to pick up bouncing signals in tight urban setting. if you are in pretty much open space and 50 miles from tv stations, i'd recommend Winegard FreeVision. that's an indoor/outdoor antenna that works the best in your situation.

I do not know the gain, but I am guessing 3dB. However, I am been told that this antenna performs better on 440 Mhz than 2 meters. And, I believe this to be true.

This unit is very small and I am using in the an area close to our Broadcasting towers..(12 miles) so with the distance that you are mentioning I would purchase a larger antenna for the distance.

Like our friend Douglas said, the E4200 uses internal antennas. It does not have antenna connectors for external high gain antennas.

High Gain Digital TV Aerial - Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital Antenna for USB TV Tuner / ATSC Television / DAB Radio - With Magnetic BaseThis one was better just do not stand in front of it or block it and it was under $10And although it may say no signal change the channel or move in direction of any window, worked great!

A 69 Dollar discone off Amazon will do nicely. Get it up 40 feet and you're set. Use a 50 foot run of RG8X coax or if you have money RG213. Don't forget the correct coax ends to match the radio and the antenna. Do NOT use adapters!

Check out the review with the 3 star rating By Bee. After the review, the manufacturer responded and recommended improving reception using a different internal and external antenna. I believe the external antenna they referenced is their Yagi direction antenna. They even provide a link to the directional antenna with a female connector, which is on Amazon too.

You might pick up the stronger stations but chances are you need an antenna outside the house on a pole. Look at Denny's antennas dennysantennaservice( dot )com for some help. There should be an antenna selector map for your area.
