Is the antenna omni-directional or do you have to turn the radio to adjust the antenna?

It is Omni-directional however works off of your Wireless Internet that is in your home. You may have to find a good spot in your home that has a good signal. Example: If your you have a 2 story home and your Wireless Internet has a strong signal upstairs but weak downstairs...you probably will have to operate it upstairs. Radio works very well but you need a good Wireless Signal. I believe you can also directly connect to your Internet with a cable, and bypass the wireless feature.

My experience is that position does not seem to make a difference in the pick up of Wi-Fi transmissions.But I operate the unit at work in a high rf wifi area, so I do not have experience in any fringe reception areas.Like any IP device, it works better on a hard line connection.

Could not tell you, the radio never worked. Had to send radio and antenna back.

Just wireless ( Wi-Fi ) All done Internet. Picks-up like a laptop or tablet.

The antenna IS NOT directional like an old roof top TV antenna. The antenna is just 3 OR 4 inches long and I have it standing straight up. Though, I suppose it could remain in the horizontal position. Bottom line -- if your WIFI signal is reasonably strong you should get reception. Remember, the signal is digital. So you will either get reception or not. There is no "in between". I just bought my second TTR1 a week ago. Good product for $50.00. Enjoy! Cal.

Its a small antenna on the top of rear with a swivel. Didn't really have any major issues placing the radio how and we here I wanted it. I have it on my night stand about 75 feet away from WiFi router 2 rooms over.

the antenna does not have channels... it only gathers signals from available sources for the converter box to work with... it may allow the converter box to lock on to more channels if they are available - maybe better signal strength than rabbit ears... i have found out that mine is directional... pointing one way {say north-south} i get X channels with signals and i can lock on Y of them... point {east-west} get some of the some of the same channels and can lock onto others that were not clear on the [north-south] setting... also changing from flat to verticle makes a difference in signal strength.... i live in indianapolis not far from the transmitting towers and still have the directional issue... hope this helps

Its actually two directional antenna in one, making it multi directional, but its very powerful, I pick up Boston and Fall River Mass. channels, but I live in southeastern ct

it is digital so you can look its on the same side as the antenna is, lets say you like 101.1 FM that`s how it will show just find it and turn the sound and your good to go..

I would say it is multidirectional as the rotor moves and the higher you mount it the more channels you receive.

I guess you could say not only is it omni-directional but omni-lingual. Point is it receives signals, which ones depend on where you put it.

You don't... You should have read the "One" star reviews, "Before" you buy... If you bought it, you will have to go up and adjust it for each channel... Or you can go out and buy an expensive "Rotor" to change it for you... But the antenna will fall apart from what others have said... (Mine was broke when I got it...) If I were you I would send it back and get a better antenna... Just MO...

I have installed it on a replacement with the omni directional antenna and it worked well

There was nothing stating that this is omnidirectional. I do know from experience that you need to have a decent line of site to your closest transponders. I live in a bad reception area due to being in a bottom floor apt in a heavily wooded area and hoped this would give me better reception than my old rabbit ear antenna. It actually did not do as well.

The kit I bought came with the omni-directional outdoor antenna and an indoor antenna, works great for me.

no....telescoping antenna flips from the side aprox 2 1/2 ft still happy with the radio, although at one point the on/off volume became scratchy fixed it by turning the knob quickly several times and the scratchy sound was no more and hasnt come back. maybe picked up static from me. welcome to analogue.plan to purchase a couple more.

Yes, the antenna is detachable (it unscrews). I don't know the format (SMA, reverse polarity SMA, etc).

The radio has a telescoping antenna mounted to the top of the unit which can be swiveled around to get signal improvement. I have not seen the need to connect any other antenna to this radio. It performs very well and picks up St. Louis stations from at least 60 miles away. I have also picked up Chicago stations which would be more than 450 miles away.

Hi Darien, The antenna is built into the unit. I returned my radio because I was very unhappy with its' lack of performance.

No. It is not designed to be multidirectional. However, It does pick up closer stations despite not being aimed at them.

The specs say omnidirectional, and I see no switches on the microphone, so probably it's Omni only.

Its a high-powered omni-directional wifi antenna that connects to the USB port on your PC or Mac and offers better reception to nearby networks. If you use the antenna in a vertical position then it will be omni-directional. If you use the antenna in a horizontal position then it will be more directional. Imagine the antenna in a vertical orientation, the signal (send and receive) pattern extruding from the antenna would look like a pancake. If you orient the antenna horizontally then the signal pattern will be like a pancake set up on its edge. You would then need to point the broad side directly at the wifi network to gain the best signal. ..its not exactly a pancake pattern, but close enough for the analogy...
