For the C2-V-CJM ClearStream 2-V Long Range UHF/VHF Indoor/Outdoor DTV Antenna &gt; What is the VHF dBi gain, UHF dBi gain, range for VHF and for UHF?

according to the mfg,"max gain uhf 10.4 dBi, vhf 3.1 dBi." You can also contact Antennas Direct: their customer service is quite good.

No. This model antenna is specific to UHF frequencies. For VHF at that distance, I'd recommend this &lt;http://is.gd/OhpTQJ&gt;.

(Background) I live in the Philadelphia area and purchased this antenna for my laptop with a multimedia card. I move around alot on my job and most times have to wait to conduct my business. So I figured I would watch "live tv" instead of using my on-line data minutes. (Performance) Maximum outdoor range for clear reception = 20 miles from the transmitter (your mileage may vary) The antenna is basically L.O.S. (Line of Sight) If you try and use the antenna indoors 95% of the time the reception will be non existent for (Dtv) digital tv.

VHF only, not UHF. I get good VHF reception 180 degrees from antenna direction.

I can only speak for UHF/VHF reception aerial antenna. We have 3 TVs running off a one main line that is then split for the 3 TVs. Before installing the Phillips booster onto the main line, all 3 TVs got a different number of channels. Now they are all receiving the same number of channels. All channels NOW have excellent quality.

James,An additional comment on the NA-771: I am getting very good reception across the VHF band on the BF-F9V2+ with this antenna (136 - 174MHz). The greatest confirmed range (65+ miles) thus far has been at 136 MHz, but that is only because I can pinpoint the source of the signal. There may be comparable reception at higher frequencies in the band, but I have not been able to confirm the location source. In any case, the dB gain provided by the NA-771 clearly improves the transmit/receive range of the radio.

I also do not know what the dbm ratings are, You will have to check the site for that. I have had the antenna for quite a while now. Works amazingly well. holds up strong in the storms as well. It is mounted about 40 to 50 feet above the found. Its a very strong antenna as it picks up weaker broadcast signals.

I had a 200' RG6 run. The voltage drop was within specs for the CM7777, which has a 30db gain vs the 16db gain for the CM7778 model. I am about 37 miles from the transmitting towers.FYI, my first CM7777 was DOA, the second crapped out within a week. If you open it up to look at the board, you are going to wonder what you shelled out 60 bucks for.

Most notability is the number of elements and the overall size. The other is the word extreme. Our location was at the maximum distance 50 Miles from the Broadcast antenna. Plus, I wanted to mount the unit in the attic. I would estimate if your around 25 miles distance and mounting outside the C2 would work fine. However, I would opt for the C2-V-CJM with the additional element and mount. Here's what I see as the difference: Direct C2 - Does not come with antenna mount. Direct C2-V-CJM - Comes with antenna mount and additional element. Direct C4 - Does not come with antenna mount. Direct C4-CJM - Comes with antenna mount.

The newer CM 4228HD is NOT a vhf antenna. It will pick up some vhf stations but only if they are strong in your area. I thing the 4228 is a better uhf antenna but depending on your location and the stations available the winegard mounted with a rotor may be a better choiced. Check TVfool.com to find out where and how strong your local station are.

I'm really not sure of all the technical jargon, but I it says it is engineered to receive 1080i HDTV broadcasts not always available on satellite or cable. Perfect antenna for local HDTV reception (channels 2-69) up to 45 miles from broadcast tower. I have been using this antenna and have a perfect picture and it is 100% better then when I had cable. I get channels from Boston, MA and that is about 40 miles from me so I'm happy with the results. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help but the customer service number for the TERK Amplified HDVa Pro is 1-800-290-6650. They may be able to answer your question more fully. I hope I helped some.

The CM2016, Like Most residential TV antennas, is what is called a "Half Wave Di-pole". In this design the length of each antenna element is one quarter the wavelength they are designed for so that each pair of elements is on half the design wavelength. Being tuned this way results in the highest possible gain for a simple antenna design. Looking at the CM2016, you will see a pair of much longer elements off to the side, these are the "high VHF" elements that capture Channells 7-13. The main beam of the antenna is an array of shorter elements designed to capture UHF channels and the medium length elements above and below are UHF reflector elements that increase gain and directionality in the UHF range. No matter what the advertised channel designation is, digital television is not transmitted in the "Low VHF" range...many local stations retained their old designations for public recognition reasons when they changed over from NTSC to DTV.

Don't know the actual dB, but it's been my experience that the 7.5" antenna performs better (for me). I can hit a local repeater consistently with the 7.5", but not with the 14.5". It may be due to local atmospherics, or other factors over which I have no control. Bottom line is that I use the 7.5" more often. In a different area, I might have different results, but I haven't used the device outside of my local area. Having said that, both perform a lot better than the 'stock' antenna.

I am using it on THREE UV-82's and I am THRILLED by its performance on both VHF High band 144-176 MHz and UHF 460-512 MHz. Hope this helps.

Roger E.-Our DB8 picks up all the local UHF channels very well. It's mounted in the attic of a 1-story house and has a Winegard signal amplifier attached. We also get VHF channels 4,5,8,11 and 13 very well. We can get a channel 2 but not as well unless we rotate the antenna. There's not much on there we watch so we just don't bother with it.Keep in mind that the location of the signal towers and your particular location may cause issues receiving all channels. Some people have to buy two antennas and aim them in two different directions to get a good signal on all the channels. A signal amplifier will help too.

Sorry to hear that. The RCA TVPRAP1R amplifier continues to work very well with my Radio Shack long range VHF/UHF antenna. I live on a fringe area of a large city and this amplifier makes the flaws in reception of digital TV bearable. It also increased the number of stations I get to over 40.

I have the lower end DB8 (not this "e" version) which gets all the VHF stations 20 miles distant, much thru forested terrain. 40 stations if you include the UHF. I am using an amp but even prior to the amp I still got most of them. I think for shorter distances like my 20 miles, these antennas are underrated.
