Add Your Review
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: |
| we live in 60miles se of Orlando. We have had our stealthtenna for 5 years. With the amplifier, we get awesome reception. A hurricane 3 years ago damaged the antenna but even with 1/2 of the antenna missing, we still get great reception for the channels we do receive. We plan on purchasing a new one in order to enter the digital (hdtv) age and expect to get all of our channels. I highly recommend this with the amplifier (we had poor reception w/o it). |

| Summary: No DTV 19.4 miles from transmitter |
| I've had this antenna for 3 years and I have never been very satisfied with its performance on the analog stations.
I have it mounted on a pole above my roofline, and there are no obstuctions between me and the transmitters.
My unit does not have the amplifier...
I just bought an HDTV and the thing isn't pulling in a single station (there are at least 10 of them within 20 miles from me).
Looking for something else at this point. The Stealthtenna is a piece of junk as far as I'm concerned

| Summary: Probably should have gotten an indoor |
| On my roof on a short mast I just barely get about 12 channels. Unfortunately the boneheads who broadcast here in San Diego put their towers on 3 mountains at 3 different directions from the center of the city so no matter which way you point the antenna you have at least one weak signal or no signal. Worked almost as well propped up in my bedroom. Barely worked in my attic. Go figure. I suspect it's just not a very good antenna. Probably work with a rotor, but for me an indoor would have worked just as well. |

| Summary: Suprisingly good Antenna |
| Funny, I moved to the city a long time ago and threw out my analog antenna a long time ago. Now with digital TV, I need an antenna again. I did not think much of this antenna when I bought it, I was just looking for something to let me get a few of the digital stations. I installed it on the roof and whammo all of the stations came in (most @~ 70% strength). It looks flimsy out of the box and I was worried about it falling down but it has survived to nasty wind storms and has not moved an inch. I also hooked my receiver up to this antenna and it improved my FM singnal a bit (although this is clearly not an FM antenna). I bought this in combo with the Winegard DS-1111 that fits right on to the back of my Sat dish. Pretty easy to install for the semi-handy guy. |

| Summary: Beware: Poor mechanical design for coax cable connector |
| I purchased both the matching Channel Master STEALTHtenna 3010 antenna and the Channel Master 3038 preamplifier and carefully installed them on my roof in a temporary configuration to find the ideal mounting location for the mast. Note that the antenna comes with a passive circuit board which is replaced when you add the preamplifier. Both the passive circuit board and preamplifier lack any mechanical strength for the coax threaded barrel connector. While my experience was directly related to a design flaw of the preamplifier, this scenario would have played out the same had I left the original passive circuit board in the antenna. My experience, and why I recommend you do NOT purchase this antenna: When it was time to transfer to antenna to the permanent mast I attempted to release the coax cable downlead (hex nut on threaded barrel) which snapped off the connector. I examined the circuit board of this antenna to see if it could be repaired, and discovered that the threaded barrel connector was simply a few solder joints on the circuit board - there is no mechanical strength to this design at all! BEWARE. First, if you haven't purchased this product, then DO NOT. If you have purchased it, you will need to attach your coax connector VERY CAREFULLY and NEVER attempt to remove it in the future. You must ASSUME that if you have need to change out the coax cable for any reason the connector will NOT come off the antenna. Therefore, you will have to CUT the cable and reterminate (thus adding a signal loss by splicing). If I hadn't already discarded the shipping package, receipt, etc., I would attempt to return this product. |
