1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, July 23, 2009

This review is from: PCT International 3010STEALTH Channel Master Outdoor HDTV Antenna (Electronics)

I bought the channel master around June of 2009. Because it was inexpensive, and because I've been burned before, I also ordered a Winegard HD-1080. I hoped that if one didn't work well, maybe the other would. That was a good idea, because the Channel Master was seriously inferior to the Winegard. The channel Master did receive all local stations (all of which are 25 miles or less from my house and in the same general direction) the signal strength meter on my converter box indicated values from a low of 11% (abc) to a high of 36% (cbs). The channel that indicated 11% was prone to breaking up and sometimes just disappearing altogether.
So I Installed the Winegard in place of the Channel Master. Wow. The signal strengths increased to the range of 55% to 73%. Rock Solid.
I bought the Channel Master because of all the positive reviews. I guess I got the lemon. If you buy one, save the box. You may want to return it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works Good, August 18, 2005

I recently purchased this antenna so I can receive over the air digital local channels. It does a very good job pulling in local digital channels in the Phoenix area but the standard analong channels do not come in very clear. I have been receiving almost a full signal on the digital channels per my HDTV's signal meter. The manufacturer recommends the addition of an optional amplifier to improve the signal. I have not yet ordered the amplifier but after reading a review by another owner on Epinions, he states it works very good with the addition of the amplifier.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware: Poor mechanical design for coax cable connector, October 5, 2009

I purchased both the matching Channel Master STEALTHtenna 3010 antenna and the Channel Master 3038 preamplifier and carefully installed them on my roof in a temporary configuration to find the ideal mounting location for the mast. Note that the antenna comes with a passive circuit board which is replaced when you add the preamplifier. Both the passive circuit board and preamplifier lack any mechanical strength for the coax threaded barrel connector. While my experience was directly related to a design flaw of the preamplifier, this scenario would have played out the same had I left the original passive circuit board in the antenna. My experience, and why I recommend you do NOT purchase this antenna: When it was time to transfer to antenna to the permanent mast I attempted to release the coax cable downlead (hex nut on threaded barrel) which snapped off the connector. I examined the circuit board of this antenna to see if it could be repaired, and discovered that the threaded barrel connector was simply a few solder joints on the circuit board - there is no mechanical strength to this design at all! BEWARE. First, if you haven't purchased this product, then DO NOT. If you have purchased it, you will need to attach your coax connector VERY CAREFULLY and NEVER attempt to remove it in the future. You must ASSUME that if you have need to change out the coax cable for any reason the connector will NOT come off the antenna. Therefore, you will have to CUT the cable and reterminate (thus adding a signal loss by splicing). If I hadn't already discarded the shipping package, receipt, etc., I would attempt to return this product.
