Outdoor Fm Antenna

The greater the number of elements, the higher the gain.

To achieve a 3dB increase, the number of elements needs to be doubled. That means its length will be approximately doubled too.

This is a video that shows how the Keykeeper and I installed the Antennacraft FMSS outdoor FM antenna along with a signal amplifier that also ...

I need something that would get stations from 20+ miles away..If you know of an antenna please list the name, make, and model of it, along with where I could find one at. Thank you!
Fm reception in a house..forgot to mention that....

Best is a antenna on a 100 foot tower..gets stations about 100 miles out.

But depending upon the stations and how far away, Radio Shack (National chain electronics store in most major cities) sells outside antennas as well as inside antennas

Best is a good outside antenna with a signal booster but please remember size

Sometimes a amplified indoor antenna may help you if the signal on the included antenna is not up to snuff (find that alot with home theatre stereos).. but outside for those are best

I'm trying to purchase an outdoor antenna and cable to Connect it to the HDTV Digital Converter Box; but I found out that there are different antennas (VHF, UHF and even FM class Antenna)

Also, different kind of cable to connect the Antenna to the TV/Digital Converter Box. These are RG-59 Coax Cable , RG-6 Coax Cable and RG-6 Coax Quad Shield Cable.

Can somebody help me with these options.

Thank you so much for your help!

For TV, you need a good quality VHF/UHF antenna. RG-6 should be good enough for most installations. The quad shield is a better choice to reduce interference, however that usually is not a problem in home installations so it's really not worth the extra money.

RG-59 is good for the cables from the wall to the TV because it's thinner and easier to hide, however you can just do the whole installation in RG-6.

Make sure you properly ground the antenna for lightning protection!
