About Channel Master EXTREMEtenna Long Range Multi-Directional Outdoor TV Antenna - 80 Mile Range
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
82% found it multi-directional, nevertheless, 18% experienced signal loss
The antenna picks up signals from 180 degrees instead of one direction.
No antenna is totally omni-directional, which means it needs to be pointed towards a specific tower.
I suggest adding a directional Hi-V antenna pointed at the Hi-V tower and joining the two antenna lines.
The antenna needs to be pointed towards the transmitting location.
83% appreciated its compatibility with other tv models
For those who are 30 miles away from the antenna and don't require a super-directional antenna due to hills or trees, and only need UHF, I recommend this antenna.
82% found it weather resistant, but 18% encountered issues
The Channel Master 4021hd antenna's small size is advantageous as it remains unaffected by wind.
I lose some SF stations when there is heavy rain or fog or high wind. 4228 might help in such conditions.
79% were satisfied with the signal boosting power, yet 21% weren't
I am getting signal strengths in the mid 80s on almost all channels and sometimes it jumps to high 90s if there are storms rolling in.
I achieved perfect signal strength by adjusting the antenna twice to reach the furthest stations.
I highly recommend purchasing a good pre-amp to boost the signal and limit strong signal noise.
I boosted the signal strength of a hard to get station by 130% using the antenna, bringing it to almost 80% signal strength.

81% liked the signal strength, however 19% faced connectivity issues
I installed the antenna outdoors at a height of 15ft and can receive stations with no dropout at a signal strength of -58dbm (30 mile dist) according to TV Fool.
The signal strength is very strong and there is no signal break-up.
I recommend this antenna for local stations with towers less than 30 to 40 miles away and towers located within a 30 degree arc from the front only.
I added a pre-amp that improved reception from both towers 70 miles away.

82% were satisfied with the signal range, but 18% experienced dropouts
The towers in Albuquerque are 65 miles away from my location.
I installed the antenna outdoors at a height of 15ft and can receive stations with no dropout at a signal strength of -58dbm (30 mile dist) according to TV Fool.
Initially, I picked up only a few stations with just the antenna, but after adding an electroline 8 port powered signal amplifier, I was able to pick up 50+ channels.
I purchased and added a pre-amp which improved the level of reception from both towers which are 70 miles distant.
