Overview
A cord-cutter chasing free over-the-air channels from distant broadcasters gets a directional outdoor Yagi antenna that arrives pre-assembled. U-bolt hardware attaches it to a pole or mast, and a step-by-step guide is included.
Choose it for reaching distant stations with a roof or mast mount, since it covers the VHF, UHF and FM bands in one antenna. The range figure assumes a clear route, and the mast and cable are extra purchases.
Who it's for
A house with a spot for an outdoor mount and towers in one direction suits the Yagi pattern. Those who want an indoor antenna, or who face stations in several directions, should look at other designs.
Pros and cons
- Covers Low VHF, High VHF, UHF and FM
- U-bolt mounting hardware included
- Step-by-step installation guide
- Listed support for ATSC 3.0 broadcasts
- Mast and coaxial cable sold separately
- Directional, must be aimed at towers

Performance notes
Gain figures describe how strongly the antenna favors the direction it points, which is why a Yagi reaches farther than a flat panel but only toward one side. The range rating is for a given mounting height, and an amplifier plus a taller mast can extend it. Weather exposure is handled by materials the maker describes as built for extreme outdoor conditions.
