A Word About Antenna
Specifications -
All Channel Master antennas are
classified according to sensitivity: for example, "Fringe," "Suburban," "Metropolitan," etc. These ratings
are designed to indicate at what distances from a TV transmitter the antenna
provides the best reception. These ratings are based on optimum conditions over
unobstructed terrain. Factors such as the type of terrain, the number and
placement of buildings along the signal path, and the height and power output
of the transmitting tower will have bearing on the type of antenna which is
appropriate.
Channel Master has long been recognized as the foremost
designer of high performance antennas. Their engineers have prepared the
following classifications according to exacting standards. Examine very
carefully any manufacturer's claim of greater performance.
The following chart is intended as a general guide for selecting
antennas:
| Area Designation | For VHF | For UHF | Area Designation | For VHF | For UHF | |
| Deepest Fringe | 100+ Miles | 60+ Miles | Far Suburban | 50 Miles | 35 Miles | |
| Deep Fringe | 100 Miles | 60 Miles | Suburban | 45 Miles | 30 Miles | |
| Fringe | 80 Miles | 45 Miles | Far Metropolitan | 30 Miles | 25 Miles | |
| Near Fringe | 60 Miles | 40 Miles | Metropolitan | 25 Miles | 15 Miles |
