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.
