WOW 180 Miles

[KE4EST]

Sad part is the general public believe this sh*t.

I am seeing ads for a satellite dish shped antenna again. It is supposedly more portable that way. I can't quite fiure out why.

 

[jayn_j]

No stinkin 180 miles. Everyone knows that a dish can receive signals from 22,800 miles away

 

[localclassictvfan]

Buy TWO of them, and wire them in series, you'll get 360 miles then! lol

In that case, I could get Shreveport, Monroe, Jackson, New Orleans, Beaumont, Biloxi, and Pensacola/Mobile.....WOW that would be like a cable lineup...

 

[Blindowl1234]

Wow I'd get over 100 maybe 125 stations compared to the 64 I get now lol. Why didn't we think of inventing something like this? We could retire a millionaire, or go to jail eventually for fraud

180 miles sounds nice, but I have those darn Rockies blocking my view of Denver...

Oh this antenna is so amazing it will probably see right though them mountains....

 

[Magic Static]

Well if it works through mountains then I can get several repeaters of the same channels I already get, but nothing new in over 200 miles from me.

 

[Peter Parker]

It looks like it could drill through mountains.

What a load of .....

Review:

Would not pick up 50 miles away Let alone on an 180 miles away Unsatisfied with productPicked up more channels With my old antenna Then the new one Much clearer picture With my old antenna Then with the new one

Correct me if I am wrong, the clarity of the picture cant be possibly affected by the antenna, it either works and is clear or does not and pixelates etc....the antenna looks to have a decent design and is cheap enough I may try it for the San Diego signals my small mcm 2485 struggles with (107 miles away edge2)

Here is the latest they stared advertising for yesterday, same as one of the other models but with a new name:

Looks a lot like a chain saw bar.

 

[spongella]

I think if you divided the reputed mileage by about 4 or 5 that would be more realistic.

 

[Mr Tony]

Looks a lot like a chain saw bar.

agreed!

Must be one of those (Rapper) B.O.B antennas, since according to this rapper the Earth is flat. Those pesky line of sight issues are totally gone with this Flat-Lander antenna, it might be capable of receiving signals from Australia in the US and Europe.

Hi.
Thanks for the Advert! They are very capable of the 180 mile range.

BULLSPIT!

Any antenna is "capable" of receiving from a long range, now and again during SKIP season, but no way in HELL can you guarantee it can do 180 miles every single day without fail.

The Earth's horizon is around 65~ miles away, and anything beyond that starts meaning you have far less chance of receiving the signal consistently, without extreme measures.
