I am not too sure why they are using 2 folded dipoles for driven element (the ones broken in the middle with red caps. Unless it has a 2:1 balun because 2 folded dipoles in parallel would be about 150 ohm.
Then it has a VHF reflector. This antenna should have about 4 to 5
db on UHF and 2 to 3 on VHF.
I can't see where it says amplified which would be good for those that don't need an amp.
I might make a good attic antenna for someone that didn't need more than just a tiny bit more gain than rabbit ears.
However 50 ft of coax if hooked to it would just about kill the gain out of it if its not amplified.
$20 makes it the right price also to compete against antennas built to be outside for years. I am not sure how long the plastic mount or rotor would last.
