We need someone to do a tear down. Problem is, how does the antenna know which channel you want to watch. We don’t all have the luxury of all the channels coming from only one direction. At most, it is taking some kind of aggregate RF level and perhaps tweaking some elements to maximize that number.

Anybody used one? Are they any good? Or just a gimmick. I got an email about a Black Friday deal $10 open box with free shipping on Nov. 29 only. Gotta wonder how many open box units they have, maybe just one and they hope you’ll buy one at regular price. If they really have a ton of open box units, and they’re returns, that would indicate they might not be a deal even at $10. I also wonder how much beam steering you can do at UHF frequencies with a small panel. Most of those indoor TV antennas are omnis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
