Great antenna, we have stations 50 miles west and 30 miles east. Easy to point towards them and reception is clear.

DB8e is a very sensitive highly directional tool

I live in a fringe reception area; transmitters are distant and terrain is a complicating factor. I had tried other antennas with mixed results. But the DB8e is definitely the best tool for the task that I've tried. It is very sensitive to picking up marginal signals and highly directional; just a little bump one way or the other and you can lock in on the best options. It also offers the capability of adjusting one panel at a slightly different angle than the other; in effect, almost like having two antennas. This high tech antenna, combined with the expertise and great customer service at Antennas Direct, may be the answer to you fringe reception area headaches!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We wanted to be able to watch channels scanned in at night to be available for viewing anytime. This high gain antenna has done the job for us.

Fine for 56 miles in flat Florida from towers. Needed a booster for the lower powered PBS only. Simple assembly. Nice it allows pointing in different directions if needed.

Nice antenna, I like the ability to be able to receive from two different directions that’s why I selected it, I specifically did not want VHF, just UHF only.

Poor reception
on July 30, 2024
Posted by: Bill
from Central N Y
I bought this antenna to replace an inexpensive yagi type antenna and am very disappointed. The yagi
received 5 stations from about 51 mi away, the db8 gets 2 and they are both on the backside of the antenna about 21 mi away in the opposite direction. I get nothing on the front side of the antenna. The antenna is mounted in the same position as the yagi was, I have a rotor and a mast mounted preamp and no matter which way I aim it I get nothing except the 2 off the backside. If I aim the front at the town where the 2 stations are I get nothing, only off the rear of the antenna. I've been involved in amateur radio for over 30 yrs and this one has me confused.

This big boy helped pull in 80+ channels in my metro atlanta home. Was easy to assemble and get aimed. If you have the space, its worth the money to go big and get more channels
