Televes DATBOSS Mix LR UHF VHF Long Range Outdoor TV Antenna (149884)

Televes DAT BOSS MIX LR Long-Range UHF/VHF Outdoor TV Antenna (149884)

Best For

Homeowners and professional installers who need directional long-range reception of high-VHF and UHF over-the-air television signals in rural, suburban, fringe-signal, or otherwise challenging reception areas.

Why Choose the Televes DAT BOSS MIX LR?

The Televes 149884 combines a directional high-VHF/UHF antenna with BOSS technology that automatically manages output levels when powered. This helps the antenna work with both weaker and stronger incoming signals. If power is unavailable, the antenna can also operate in passive mode.

Its design combines high-VHF channels 7-13 and UHF channels 14-36 in one outdoor antenna and includes filtering intended to reduce interference from nearby LTE signals.

Key Benefits

• Receives high-VHF channels 7-13 and UHF channels 14-36
• BOSS active mode automatically manages signal levels
• Can operate in passive mode when the BOSS system is not powered
• Directional design for challenging and long-range reception applications
• Integrated LTE filtering
• 12 VDC operation for active BOSS mode
• Aluminum, stainless-steel, and ABS construction for outdoor use

Who Should Buy the 149884?

This antenna is a strong fit for viewers whose local stations use both high-VHF and UHF frequencies and who need a directional outdoor antenna for difficult reception conditions. Actual reception distance and channel availability depend on terrain, obstructions, transmitter power, antenna height, and installation conditions.

Installation Notes

Mount the antenna outdoors on a suitable mast and aim it toward the desired broadcast towers. Provide 12 VDC power when using active BOSS mode, and follow applicable grounding, structural, and local installation requirements.

• The DAT design, based on 3 Yagi antennas with asymmetric directors, provides great directivity as well as an optimal anti-echo radiation pattern
• Special double-U dipole: it's open/close format provides optimal frequency response flatness
• A fully shielded switch box protects the BOSS system from impulsive noise; grounded for full protection against electrical discharge
• Manufactured in aluminium (stainless) for a long service life
• Fully automated manufacturing in Europe under the most stringent quality controls: a synonym of high reliability
• Two work mode options: Intelligent low power consumption mode or passive mode (lack of power supply).

TForce technology:
Televes transitions from the traditional silicon era into a new era of electronic component design, allowing integrated circuits to be precisely manufactured for microwave frequency bands. Utilizing “State of the Art” MMIC technology TForce is manufactured using semiconductor compounds such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), providing the resulting products with unparalleled features and performance

Televes has reinvented the antenna concept. Until now, an antenna was just the reception component of a TV installation in which gain and directivity were the main features. The introduction of a smart device like BOSS provides the antenna with the capacity to receive very weak signals without the risk of being affected by very strong signals, the result is a dynamic balance between weak and strong signals that provides optimum signal levels at all times: the "dynamic range" concept turns out to be the most outstanding among quality parameters.

The creation of TForce with BOSS technology using MMIC components is an extraordinary milestone in the optimization of the dynamic range. The technology that allowed the reception of lost signals from distant satellites is now allowing the enhancement of the coverage range in DTT installations.
