Besides Wineguard's HD769 series, anyone know of other Ch 7 thru 69 DTV
hi-gain outdoor antennas?

Thanks

Bob

"Ch 7 thru 69 DTV"? Only 7-51 is authorized after the transition (in the
U.S.).

Thanks D. - got a bit better search results using 7 & 51 in the seach
rather then 7 & 69

Bob that antenna appears to be a standard ant w/ what in Feb 09, will be the
unnecessary large elements for ch 2 - 6

I don't know your situation, but many folks can get away with using rabbit
ears. It works, or it doesn't. Barring a serious distance problem, a
proper antenna may not be needed.

If an antenna made exactly for DTV is cheap, then fine. However, I suspect
you may pay extra for an antenna with limited bandwidth over a close out
sale on an old fashioned 2 through 82 antenna.

I disagree on the rabbit ears. If you can do an outdoor antenna it's
preferable for many reasons like less multipath and stronger signal.

If you don't mind the size of the antenna. The Winegard 7694 is only
35" wide vs 110" for the 7082. There is no such ting as an antenna
"made exactly for DTV". Antennas cover a range of frequencies thet may
include analog or digital TV. Flatness of response and directionality
are the important issues and are equally important for analog or
digital.

I plan on not using those anymore at that time. other wise works
good for analog, digital TV and radio.

Dear Bob W4NNG: I have been using a Winegard HD-1080. Reflectors behind
two, parallel, broadside UHF fan dipoles that each have an extension to help
with 7-13. I an using it with 12 and a bunch of UHF channels and it does
behave as expected. I would not call it "high-gain," but good enough in
this flat area.

This is probably the antenna I will buy soon!
