Can you upgrade to a Yagi antenna outside?

Check out the review with the 3 star rating By Bee. After the review, the manufacturer responded and recommended improving reception using a different internal and external antenna. I believe the external antenna they referenced is their Yagi direction antenna. They even provide a link to the directional antenna with a female connector, which is on Amazon too.

The short answer is yes. We have installed two of these with the associated patch antennas without issue. If you chose to go the Yagi route, you would need to pay attention to cable and antenna connectors as well as impedance rating (50/75 ohm). I would suggest trying it with the included patch antenna, if you do not get the gain you require, then try the Yagi.

We used the "Yagi" zBoost directional antenna to boost our signal from about 1 bar to 5 in Moon Canyon near Leavenworth, WA, where it is very difficult to get a clear signal. Our system uses two different antennas: the fish-bone-like Yagi antenna and the square antenna. We receive both Voice and Data and these are hooked up to the ZBoost amplifier that is inside of the house, which then redistributes the signal to our Verizon cell phones and our computer which uses a Verizon MIFI device to receive the signal for the computer. This arrangement works great, because we don't have cable, or any other land-line for our computer.

The antenna is fixed and cannot be changed. You might be able to add a connector if you have good soldering skills, but I have not opened mine to confirm. It works fine for me and has good coverage.

I'm not sure if I understand your question but I'll take a stab at it ..........My guess is you will need the directional yagi antenna in order to send and receive enough signal for the booster to work. Be sure the yagi antenna is tuned to the same frequencies as your booster or there will be a miss match. Hope this was the answer you were looking for.

Yes. This antenna is designed to plug into a sangean radio and can be put outside the building via a window however you have to take the length of the cable into consideration. If you cannot get this small antenna outside and fairly high you will not get much gain

Yes. It comes with an external wire to plug in, which could be replaced with another antenna as long as the plug fits.

Probably not. You will more than likely half to use the outside antenna they sell.

I have used the antenna as supplied and a "better" one. The hardware expects to see the signal coming from the little line amplifier that is supplied with it. Upgrading to a "better" antenna will be successful only if that line amplifier is left in place and the replacement antenna is routed through it. With the antenna supplied with the AVerTV system, I could pick up all but one of the local stations plus those from 50 miles away. With the upgrade, I could pick up the missing local channel that was blocked by the high-rise building in which I was living.

Yes, but drilled hole on new antenna was off hole on radio, so had to remove sm. part on radio to accommodate new atenna. Keep all old parts for any adaptation needed...

To my knowledge, no. Basically if you have an HD capable TV you have everything you need. I really like this antennae and it works VERY well in my attic. I've not kept it outside.

I doubt if a different antenna will increase range as this is limited primarily by transmitter power and the sending unit antenna is fixed. Perhaps a larger antenna on the receiver might help but I found that distance is primarily limited by obstructions, so if you can mount the receiver outside in line of sight to the sender you can experience maximal range. This antenna has a screw on coaxal type connector approx 1/4 inch diameter - the receiver has the male fitting.

dearthe nogaya NA-773 maybe suit for your .this antenna is also dual band.thank you

You have to have an internal/inside antenna. But I recommend getting the newer version of this unit.

Yes you can. We have a rather large service center, these have worked out great. Had to replace a couple of antenna's from droppage and also belt clips!!!

While I have not used mine outside I do not se any reason why you couldnt. I looked it over and it seems weather proof enough . I would probably use a little silicone grease where the antenna threads onto the magnetic base

It depends on how close you are to the tv station antennas. If you are in an urban setting you might have good luck , maybe an attic antenna would work . To test , try rabbit ears in a window , it you get signals then , you will be pleased with this antenna placed outside.

Yes. I have mine attached to a leaf antenna which is in the upstairs master bedroom. I have the signal direct into the channel master and then split to the master bedroom tv and the lower level tv. With the channel master, I gained only 1-2 additional channels. However, the signal for all the channels I got prior are solid. No more spotty reception. I will add that I am in an apartment community. Therefore, an outdoor antenna was not an option.
