The TV-55?s unique helical coil element allows for an unobtrusive design yet without compromising the ability to capture lower-frequency TV stations. The helical coil receives both UHF and VHF frequencies and provides exceptional reception at all frequencies. The TV-55 functions as both a high-performance outdoor and indoor antenna. It?s ideal for houses and apartments–anywhere an unobtrusive yet high-performance antenna is desired.

It easily mounts inside a house or apartment on a wall, in a closet or attic, or any number of locations near or away from your TV. The TV-55 can even be mounted on top of an RV or on a boat (special marine version available). All necessary mounting hardware is included. The TV-55 features a patented dual-mode ultra low-noise amplifier that allows a choice of the best gain setting for maximum reception.

Good HD Reception in a Small Footprint
