About Winegard FlatWave Air FL6550A Amplified Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna 60 Mile Range
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
82% were satisfied with the signal range, but 18% experienced dropouts
The signal strength ranges from 80% to the upper 90s.
The FlatWave Air antenna added two channels and improved the signal range from 40-60% to 50-75%, which is a significant improvement compared to the older antenna on the roof.
With the enclosed pre-amp, I can get strong signals even in a location with many trees nearby and a gutter directly ahead. I believe the range of this unit is 60 miles.
I was able to pick up channels without any problem despite living 40-45 miles away from the broadcast towers.

82% found it multi-directional, nevertheless, 18% experienced signal loss
I recommend Winegard MS2002 to anyone looking for an external antenna. It is circular in design and needs no positioning.
The antenna has a directional range of about 90 degrees before any major drop in signal strength, but it could be due to my proximity to the towers.
I pointed the antenna towards the TV station towers to check if the location would work.
I installed the antenna per the instructions and pointed with a compass at the majority of stations in my area.

83% appreciated its compatibility with other tv models
If you have an old VHF/UHF band antenna, it picks up all the HDTV stations and more.
82% found it weather resistant, but 18% encountered issues
I bought the antenna to have local broadcasts when my satellite goes out in the rain.
I have not used the antenna during heavy rains, so I cannot comment on its weather resistance.
I purchased the unit with the intention of having a weather-resistant outdoor antenna.
During moderate rain, snow, or even 5-10 mph wind, the antenna signal is unstable.
79% were satisfied with the signal boosting power, yet 21% weren't
I pointed the antenna at the furthest station and still get all of the stations most of the time.
The amplified version of the antenna gives a stronger signal reading until the fading occurs.
I am trying to find a way to boost the signal strength by 10db to eliminate some signal drops.
I replaced my old antenna with FlatWave and it has 50% greater range. The signal strength on the weakest channel went to 78, mounted in the same location (outside wall, 2nd floor).

81% liked the signal strength, however 19% faced connectivity issues
The signal booster increases signal strength, but it doesn't boost signals not directly facing the antenna.
WMC has a utility that provides the strength of all available TV signals, which helps in finding the best position for the antenna.
The indoor antenna loses signal if people move, but the outdoor antenna has a stable and strong signal.
For excellent results, check the signal strength on TV and ensure it is 75-80% or more, as the quality is usually 100%.
