DX Engineering AM/FM External Outdoor High Definition Radio Antenna (DXE-AFHD-4)

We live in a low area by a lake with hills all around. This is the only antenna that successfully gives us both AM and FM reception without static,

Mounting and setup very straightforward - good instructions. Comes complete with various hardware for flexibility. Antenna works well and makes a huge difference in our remote, weekend, home.

ALL THE BASIC MATERIALS NEEDED TO SET THE ANTENNA UP FOR USE ARE INCLUDED AND ARE OF HIGH QUALITY AS IS THE 4 FOOT ANTENNA. MANY FM CHANNELS COME IN QUITE CLEAR AT MY SOUTH EAST WISCONSIN LOCATION, SOME MORE DISTANT ONES ALSO.

I bought this because I wanted better outdoor AM reception. I am very disappointed on the AM. A ferrite loop works better. The FM is OK. In my opinion this antenna is not a good value. I decided to keep it because It is a good strong fiberglass whip, which is something I was looking for my Part 15 AM transmitter from Rangemaster.

I'm using this to supply signal to a Magnum Dynalab 90T FM tuner and generally get 9 out of 10 in signal strength. I have it mounted indoors so I'm very happy with the reception. Highly recommended.

For this price it should also include Over the Air TV.

I went from 0 radio stations to 7 and counting. I get all of the Detroit stations from my Brighton location. Great Product!

I purchased this antenna recently. I mounted it on the stack vent pipe. Every home has one of these 4 inch diameter pipes on the roof, above the bathroom. Solid Signal had the perfect vent pipe mounting kit. Follow the directions exactly to assemble and put up the antenna. Do NOT overtighten the bolts above and below the mounting plate. Use quality coax cable. I applied "Coax Seal" moldable black plastic to the coax connection. I also sprayed clear acrylic paint on the bracket and mounting U bolts. Ground the mounting plate with Number 10 green ground wire, connect the other end to a cold water pipe or a ground stake. Grounding the coax makes a huge difference. .Make sure you attach the band separator properly. If your AM is poor, reverse the leads on the supplied splitter; the black splitter lead is grounded to the coax shield. I needed the 10 db attenuator (provided) as I got too much FM signal into my vintage AIWA compact stereo. This is a well made antenna.

I have not put it up yet due to the weather. I can say by looking at it that it was packed well.

I e-mailed the company and they responded with a generic auto-reply that a case has been opened, but nobody ever followed up. Looking for another AM solution.
