Terk TV55

A friend ask me to order one for him after he saw how well it worked on the boat. He had used allot of other's with poor results.

We have used the T55 antennae in fringe areas and on our yacht with fantastic results for more than three years with no problems. Good stuff/ WB6HUN

Poor multipath rejection, noisy RF amplifier, limited gain w/o power amp

Not even worth the shipping

I purchased the TV55 to try to pull in a few more local HD channels than i was getting with my Terk TV4. But after finding the optimal place the the TV55, and setting up the amp correctly i proceded to get less channels than with my TV4, and worse...

Included amp works with other antennas.

Does not work worth a darn. The antenna is HUGE, and you would think that with such a large antenna it would work better.
