Antenna ID help?
ADVERTS 1
My sister just bought a house in town and is going to go with cable tv/internet. She asked if I wanted the antennas on her roof so I took them down and home.
There's no brand names or models on any of these, was hoping someone here could give me an idea what I have and what bands/channels they would be good for?

The two with the reflector screens at the back are UHF antennas, the smaller one looks like a Radio Shack U75-R.
The biggest antenna is a UHF/VHF combo.
I wouldn't be surprised if they all were RS antennas.Hitachi 57F59; Sony VHP-D50Q - 7' diag on wall

I agree except the center one looks like it is the front section of a RS.deep fringe VHF/UHF antenna.

The first two are UHF only, the VU190XR is 2-69.

Thanks, Jim. They had all 3 antennas stacked on top of each other about 18" apart, smallest on bottom, biggest on top.....on a piece on pipe that was stuck in that little tripod, which was attached to the roof. Originally Posted by Jim5506

So are the 2 UHF antennas basically the same thing, with the bigger one of those two maybe just having more "range"?C-Band: 10' "Perfect 10" mesh/CalAmp Mini-Mag*** 8.5' Birdview solid/GeoSat C2*** 7.5' Unimesh***180 cm Fortec Star...C-Band LOS from 58W-139W

That's pretty impressive. The word is "gain" but yes, that's the long and the short of it. Originally Posted by phlatwound

Thanks, Tower Guy. I think I'll put that U-100 up on my Mom's little tower and see if I can get KYTV (Springfield, MO) down at her place in northern Arkansas. She had a strong analog signal before the digital conversion, tvfool shows it to be marginal but it's probably worth a try. Originally Posted by Tower Guy
