Default LAVA A-2605 Outdoor Antenna Reviews



Amplified HDTV Digital UHF/VHF/FM Antenna Rotor Control Outdoor Motorized Built-In Rotator High-Gain Amplifier Low Noise LAVA A-2605 Digital Local TV High Definition HD Television Reception Aerial
this is a great little antenna for the price is small and lite weight has built in rotator and pre amp it is sold by summit source for around 47.00 plus shipping I have installed two of these and have had great results and customers seem happy.
however the rotator control box has no directional reading so it is a guess as to where the antenna is pointing it does have a remote control.
it is great for those who need a small size but powerful antenna it is a red zone which is 60+ miles. would also be great for RV or Boats.

I presume that is UHF. It only has a folded dipole for what looks like high band VHF.

Note in the video he has problems with 65, which is really on Channel 7 WLJC-TV

We also don't know how far he is from the stations except rural and says he is at the bottom of a hill.

Sorry but this is just a small UHF antenna with a folded dipole in the rear he calls a reflector but it's for VHF.
