Lately we have been dealing with an increasing number of attempts to manipulate antennas ranking. Note: each person is allowed to post one and only one review for each antenna model. Exceptions can be made only under special circumstances when the reviewer feels that his earlier review must be corrected.
We have a sophisticated manipulation detection system in place and we will not tolerate any attempt to game the system and mislead consumers and our visitors. We reserve the right to delete any review that we feel is misleading or inappropriate and do that at our sole discretion. Thanks for understanding.
Also, from now on we require all reviews to be at least 100 words long. Short reviews, such as "a piece of junk" or "works as advertised" are not very helpful. Consider specifying more details. Elaborate on your location, the equipment you are using, reception quality of specific channels in your area. Check the word counter at the bottom when writing.

| Summary: It does what it says | ||
| In those markets where a few VHF stations (channels 7-13) still exist, this antenna definitely pulls them in easily. Combine with your UHF antenna and you will not be disappointed. Its long but not very wide so it will fit in an attic easily. Build quality is high and it should provide years of service with no problems. | ||

| Summary: An excellent high-bander for the money | ||
| The Y5-7-13 isn\t a long-range, \fringe\ model, but it should perform admirably in most applications from the city to the far suburbs. At 60 inches long and a maximum of 35 inches wide, it\s compact enough to fit inside many attics and to be fairly unobtrusive outdoors. The Y5 is best for owners of UHF-only antennas whose markets have one or more VHF-high channels needing that extra measure of gain a UHF antenna can\t provide. When combined with a medium-sized Yagi corner-reflector or four-bay \bowtie\ UHF antenna, the Y5 will be a formidable performer compared to many single-antenna, all-channel models. The best way to combine antennas for different bands is either a VHF/UHF signal diplexer such as a UVSJ, or a dual-band-input pre-amp. | ||
