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: Good UHF Antenna, if properly applied. Fairly directional | ||
| The PR-9022, or now HD-9022, like its longer boom sibling, the PR-9032, are both fairly long yaki type UHF only reception antenna. I bought and installed a PR-9022 to receive a single UHF station, actually channel 45, that is in a much different direction, and a much greater distance than most of the local channels. Channel 45 is actually about 26 miles away. Although the antenna mount location does not have actual line-of-sight to the transmitter, I was surprised to find that the PR-9022 received adequate HD signal strenght for my plasma HDTV, without any pixelization or drop-outs. Another feature that I like is that this model still has the "old type" 300 ohm connection terminals, thus requiring a 300 to 75 ohm balon ( about three to four dollars ). I have already had my frustrations with Wineguard's newer "built-in" balon-amplifier circuit board, housed in a thin plastic enclosure box, held together with flimsey coupling tabs; sure to become brittle in the sun and fall apart. Mine fell apart just with gravity. Cost $25.00 to $35.00 dollars to replace with S&H, depending on model. Not one of Wineguard's better ideas; at least from a customer standpoint. | ||
