RCA ANT751 Outdoor Antenna Optimized for Digital Reception
+ 0 likes
I had been using RS U-75R 15-2160 indoors until the digital transition when a few stations went back to VHF which this antenna was not designed for. As a stop gap measure, I took a pair of rabbit ears that came with one of those old TVs, rubber-band tied them to the boom of the U-75R and extended all the way at an angle around 90 degrees. Without even connecting the leads, amazingly, I got all available VHF channels. So the rig worked but was a little clunky and that was why I hoped that the ANT751 could be an elegant replacement. It did comparably well with closer stations but was outmatched on a further VHF-13 station (< 30 miles). Needless to say, I went back to my trusty old rig. Moral of the story: do not throw away those telescope rabbit ears, you never know when you may need them. Tip: if you need VHF out of your old UHF hardware, try my rabbit ear trick.
