No Assembly required on the U8000, which is nice not having to put together every nut and bolt. I purchased mine about 6 months ago to improve reception over an old Yagi antenna (which was installed by the previous homeowner), and I now receive the full range of stations. I live about 55 miles from transmitters, and have minimal reception problems on windy days, but being located just outside of Chicago, we get plenty of wind and rain. Originally I had added a preamp to try and improve reception on some outside stations, but didn't seem to make a difference. My recommendation to anyone on this antenna is as Cowboy has recommended, use a rotator if your stations are not located generally in the same area.
