ClearStream5 High VHF Band TV Antenna

www.antennasdirect.com/store/C5-Clearstream-DTV-antenna.html

  • ClearStream5 High Gain VHF Antenna

    With 24% of the American DTV stations moving to a high VHF assignment there exists a need for high VHF antenna that is compact yet powerful.  Incorporating the same compact engineering which distinguishes the ClearStream family, the C5 is targeted specifically for the VHF High-Band.  The ClearStream 5’s efficient, compact design offers excellent gain and impedance matching across the whole post 2009 VHF DTV spectrum.  The ClearStream 5 is superior to existing combination antennas for receiving VHF DTV signals.  Intended to compliment existing UHF antennas, the C5 includes a low loss UHF/VHF signal combiner.  Smallest high gain VHF antenna on the market.  New Engineering for core VHF DTV frequencies

    This leap forward in efficient design allows up to 90% of the available broadcast signal (measured at 200 MHz) to actually reach the incoming antenna cable rather than being lost to impedance mismatches.  It is 100% compatible with all ATSC tuners, and is engineered for extra strength and durability, using powder coated aluminum for corrosion resistance and is easy to assemble.
