Radio Shack 15-2185/Winegard GS2000a Experience?

[bchumph]

I talked with a guy in local RS yesterday that is 46 miles from the Chicago towers. He said he is receiving all HD signals very well with the 15-2185.

Has anyone else used this antenna for HD signals and if so, how well did it work for you?

I also am considering the Winegard GS2000a.....anyone had any luck with it frmo 45.5 miles out?

I am 45.5 miles from towers, a bit south from where the RS guys lives.

Thank You,
Brad

The R/S 15-2160 is much better and only $24

2160 comment

I have two of the 2160's myself (long story) - and I use (one) of them to recieve my locals - and it works perfectly. I am 10 miles from the transmitters.

However!!! IF I turn the antenna around and aim it for Tucson (120 miles from me) I am able to get their NBC/ABC/FOX/CBS stations (plus 2 others) in HD @ A 40% signal strength. (its "fairly flat" between the cities - with some mountains)
