Product Description
this high performance uhf antenna has a higher gain and a smaller beam angle than conventional yagi antennas. the reflector grids create an improved front to back ratio with shorter construction while the 91 elements truly make it one of the highest gain uhf antennas available. although the 91xg is one of the highest gain uhf antennas made, it is also very directional. if you live more than 60 miles from the transmitters, you must get as much elevation on the antenna as possible. even with its great gain, it cannot pick up signals blocked by the curvature of the earth.general information--manufacturer--antennas direct::general information--manufacturer part number--ue-mx91::general information--manufacturer website address--antennasdirect::general information--brand name--antennas direct::general information--product model--91xg::general information--product name--91xg uni-directional antenna::general information--product type--antenna::warranty--standard warranty--lifetime limited::technical information--directivity--directional::technical information--application/usage--television::technical information--antenna range--50 mile::technical information--frequency--470 mhz to 806 mhz::technical information--gain--16.7 dbi - 806 mhz::technical information--impedance--75 ohm::interfaces/ports--connectors--1 x f-type female::physical characteristics--height--22.0"::physical characteristics--width--20.0"::physical characteristics--depth--93.0"::physical characteristics--form factor--yagi::physical characteristics--weight (approximate)--6.50 lb::

I've spent several "Days Off" installing different antenna-booster combos on a 40' tower. I live in an outer - rural area appropriately 100 miles from an HD output tower.... It's hard to believe the 91XG was far superior than the "Name Brand" antennas that I have been purchasing through a distributor. Ive tried them ALL... It will hold even in warm weather conditions.. It worked best combined with the Channel master amp Model 7777..... When I first received the box, I was spooked at the size and the number of parts inclosed in the Box... I'm telling you to save you alot of time and sweat, It truly performed excellent......... As a dealer, Ive had access to a wide varity of antenna and amp combos. I wanted to sell a unit that would not leave me with an angry customer. The 91XG is solid......

This antenna has to be the longest range directional UHF antenna out there. I live 65 miles from the transmitters on Sutro Tower San Francisco that broadcast all the UHF stations I get. Not to mention I'm in the woods and have only one clear shot to the horizon to the South so a directional antenna is a must. Although it's not perfect this antenna does pick up all the major networks even those broadcasting at 500Kw. Personally I'm astonished but make sure you download a PDF of the instructions which is available from solidsignal.com.
Admittedly I put it up completely backwards with the corner screens facing front at first and then finally realized immediately after looking at the PDF a few weeks later that the antenna was backwards. When I turned it around and reversed the direction of all the reflectors so that they were all metal sides facing front the antenna started picking up the fore mentioned extended channels.
10/27/08: I ordered a second one of these and the instructions now are the same as the PDF mentioned but the color one is still easier to identify. My purpose was to stabilize the signal by combining 2 91xg antenna. This works well even with a splitter run backwards because the antennas are the same. You can also run different UHF antenna combined with a product called 'Joinantenna' (google will find it) but the trick with it is you have to isolate the dual reception to 1 channel and rely on one antenna for the whole spectrum. Also many of the antenna reflectors which snap on had extra plastic tags on the edges from molding that you'll want to twist off.

I live in Santa Barbara, and the 91XG in my attic gets me solid reception on numerous digital stations from Los Angeles, 94 miles away. This is really pushing the limits of any antenna, and results at such a distance depend on terrain, weather, etc. I use with it an Antennas Direct PA-18 preamp and a cheap Radio Shack FM trap (discontinued but available on ebay), each of which adds about 10% signal strength.
I initially tried an Antennas Direct Clearstream 4, which got intermittent reception from a few LA stations depending on the weather. Now I realize that the Clearstream4 is a good antenna for its size, but 94 miles was just asking too much of it.
Note that very powerful antennas like the 91XG are highly directional, meaning they must be carefully pointed at the transmitters. Expect some trial and error to get the best reception.

I'm not an antenna expert, but I did enough research to know that this and the Channel Master 4228HD are two of the best long range antennas, but the 91XG did not work for me. Read more
