What is the total length of the antenna once installed? Live in the sticks and reception is sketchy, want to replace one that is only 30".

May not be what you need. This antenna is only 8" long and is mounted on top of the roof and at the rear of a 2011 Chevy Traverse. It's low enough to get into the garage but at that location, it is probably as high as any hood mounted unit. Reception has improved exponentially.

It is original equipment and is only a little over 6 inches in length. Once installed on the base it angles back and adds about 6 inches to the total height clearance for the vehicle.

The length of the part itself is 8" and when installed it stands 8" above the roof line.

This one fits in the middle of the roof on a Buick Eclave and is about 6" long, sorry.�

The Antenna is about 8" long. Reception was as good as the original antenna, but was not any better.

Hi, KJC. I purchased this antenna for a home on a lake. I went directly to the Mohu website and entered in my zip code. It gave me a decent idea what stations I could receive. There is also a few websites that can help you get an idea what stations broadcast from your area. Try the following: www.antennaweb.org; www.fcc.gov; www.antennapoint.com; www.tvfool.com or www.antenna.tv. They will help you to understand what stations transmit the closest to your area. I purchased this antenna after some research. I am very happy with the quality of the reception and the number of stations. You might have to play with it a bit but it works great.

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles

I have had it at least 30-40 ft out at the most. Had small area. Have not tried to lose contact. Antenna extends about 2-3-ft. Very cool! I like it a lot. Battery only lasts ~10min though. May want to upgrade battery pack.

We usually don't have problems with the antennas, but it may be a size issue. They come in short and long. You may want to try a different size than what you are using.

I'm not a expert on antenna's but I have my antenna 20' off the ground on a metal mast and it receives in a 45 t0 50 mile radius on VHF high band and UHF,but the antenna doesn't do well on the 800 MHz band . I have no mountains around me so I'm sure that has something to do with the reception too.

I didn't have any kind of problems. I suggest you check the installation again, step by step. If you still has the problem then get longer screws or return the antenna for exchange.

The New antennas is approximately 2" longer than the original supplied with the handheld. The new antenna has also better reception and thus better radiate energy. Sorry that I can't give you a exact length comparison as I threw the original in the trash as it was horrible. 73s de W4NQG

My husband put it together in the other room. He said for best reception near the TV was the best. I don't recall the length of the cord but it was only a few feet away from the window. Sorry I cannot be anymore help. He did say that he did not get anymore channels then he does already from the TV.

I had to cut mine down because I have a miniture Schnauzer. I don't remember how long it was, but the 27" sounds right. I had to cut a lot off. It can go some less than 12 around with out cutting the antenna. It worked very well at a setting of 3 out of 10.

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.

Mine came with two antennas: one approximately 6 inches (~15 cm) long, and the high-gain one which is approximately 14 inches (~35cm) long.

This antenna didn't work at all. According to the fcc website I live 35 miles from 3 stations. The antenna received None of these stations. I would try purchasing A different antenna.

Not long enough. Maybe 10 ft. You really need to purchase additional longer cable to have flexibity in placing the antenna. It's not that expensive.
