I don't know your situation, but many folks can get away with using rabbit
ears. It works, or it doesn't. Barring a serious distance problem, a proper antenna may not be needed. If an antenna made exactly for DTV is cheap, then fine. However, I suspect you may pay extra for an antenna with limited bandwidth over a close out sale on an old fashioned 2 through 82 antenna. |

I disagree on the rabbit ears. If you can do an outdoor antenna it's preferable for many reasons like less multipath and stronger signal. If an antenna made exactly for DTV is cheap, then fine. *However, I suspect you may pay extra for an antenna with limited bandwidth over a close out sale on an old fashioned 2 through 82 antenna. If you don't mind the size of the antenna. The Winegard 7694 is only 35" wide vs 110" for the 7082. There is no such ting as an antenna "made exactly for DTV". Antennas cover a range of frequencies thet may include analog or digital TV. Flatness of response and directionality are the important issues and are equally important for analog or digital. G² |

Dear Bob W4NNG: I have been using a Winegard HD-1080. Reflectors behind
two, parallel, broadside UHF fan dipoles that each have an extension to help with 7-13. I an using it with 12 and a bunch of UHF channels and it does behave as expected. I would not call it "high-gain," but good enough in this flat area. 73, Mac N8TT -- J. McLaughlin; Michigan, USA Home: " w4nng" wrote in message ...
