thought about a Jpole tuned to channel 11?

I have both the Z 901 and the DS from Rat Shack. I think the 901 tuner is a little better but both have good features. Im going to get another 901 and give my son the DS. that way he cant "borrow " the remote when his is misplaced. Anole,I cant always get the 901 to work on the master TV off...

No its just one antenna. 10 AWG solid wire bent to the shape of a "J". The specs for certain frequency are very critical in building it. I wanted channel 2(RF freq 11) as I couldnt get it with my other antennas very well. The bonus was all the channels come in with this.

I couldnt get an antenna to get all the stations I wanted so I made one. It works better than any of my store bought ones. Right now its sitting in my window sill inside the house and does better than the one thats 25' in the air. It took me about 1/2 hr to round up the materials and another 1/2...

MY wife says the homemade Gray-Hoverman has to go,wont let me put any antennas on the roof,10 ft BUD is enough,so Im struggling with a J pole mounted in a tree top. If anyone wants it its here for free. Im near UCF in Orlando.

I always heard it was better to push than pull.

Just hooked up the smallest J pole 20 ft in the air added the amp in line and turned on the FM trap and vovola Im getting all channels. We'll see how good it is tomorrow during the bright sunlight.

I built 3 antennas a double Gray-Hoverman using galvanized 12 gauge wire and 10 AWG copper in between ,and 2 Jpoles. The 2 Jpoles work better but I tuned them to a specific frequency so I could get the farthest transmitters. Im still missing a couple of UHF stations that my neighbor can get...

try looking it up on antennaweb.org

got it. J lenght is 42x14 1.3 spacing,1.44 tap Edit: just finished my channel 2.1(frequency channel 11,198-204 Mhz) addition to my antenna and it kicks a** Wish the rest of the channels were that good.

update still havent put it in the air but I noticed its lost channel 2.1 which is channel frequency 11. So I guess since this is the only VHf channel ,I need something tuned for channel 11.Anyone know what size the element needs to be for channel 11?

I made a 2 bay today and will test it out tomorrow . it is leaning against the house right now and is getting about the same as my best indoor one. I hope it kicks when I put it up in the air.

I found the real frequency(why is this all over the map on what is what?) Once I had this by going here AntennaWeb I found all the locals. OTOH I picked up a DS 9950 from Rat Shack today,they have a special going for next 2 wks that gives you another $10 off coupon. I think I might take it back...

I know Ill get blasted but in experimenting with my new Zenith 901 converter box I tried all the rabbit ears I have and none compared to the cheapo ac wiring to coax box thingy. I picked up 4 stations over the best powered inside antenna I have. Hoax or not this thing works. Yes Im alittle...

Wont that bleed over to signals close by?

thats what we were trying to do. All is not perfect but all in all Im pleased with my "$10" box. Im off to get a DS 9950 next for my other $10.

tried that with the Zenith 901 and it didnt seem to work,had to rescan to pick up channels that we knew existed but couldnt manually scan to add. I thought I was just doing something wrong. BTW the date on the box was May 08. So they are pretty fresh.

Zenith seems pretty good but as I said I dont have anything to compare to. I would like to try the Apex because it has S video and Surround sound. The Zenith is pulling in pretty good with an old amplified rabbit ear set,comparing to neighbor whos got the latest plasma digital TV and a mast...

called BB and they havent a clue when they are getting their Apex

coupon expires 4th of July cant wait.

Humm bookends

picked up a Zenith 901 at RatShack Y day. I have nothing to compare it to so maybe Ill try a DS 9950 too.

thats bad news I had high hopes for this one BB here doesnt even have a clue when they will get some in. Got any idea how the surround sound,S video and smart antenna hookup work? BTW what is "smart antenna"?

Seems like none of the threads on converter boxes are very organized as a review. So Im thinking that between myself and a buddy of mine we will get different ones and compare. Choices at Rat Shack are the Zenith 901 and the DS 9950. Im really leaning towards the Apex DT250 but cant find any...

anymore feedback on the best bang for the buck on the "approved" list?
