Product Description
VHF-Low/VHF-High/UHF Channels 2-36 Repack ready If the DAT BOSS can't receive it, nothing can OVERVIEW: The DAT BOSS LR LoV/HiV/UHF antenna is an state of the art long range over the air HDTV antenna that automatically adapts its gain in real time to optimize the reception of television signals, ensuring the optimum level of signal is delivered at all times. This latest repack-ready version has been completely redesigned from the ground up for the new US broadcast frequencies, significantly improving gain and range over previous generations, filtering any interfering 5G signals above 608MHz, and providing independent amplification for the VHF and UHF bands. The DAT BOSS LR LoV/HiV/UHF is able to receive very weak distant signals while at the same time avoiding overload caused by very strong signals. This is a very high gain directional antenna designed to offer stable and high quality reception of low VHF, high VHF, and UHF signals (RF channels 2-36) in challenging long-range and fringe receiving scenarios despite continuous changes in weather and transmitting conditions thanks to its exclusive and intelligent built-in TForce amplifier. The Televes proprietary stacked triple boom design ensures market leading raw gain while still maintaining a compact and install friendly form factor. The DAT BOSS LR LoV/HiV/UHF ships as a compact package including the tools needed for assembly. No additional preamplifier purchase is required as the antenna includes a best-in-class very low-noise TForce preamplifier built in right at the dipole with automatic gain control, plus FM and cellphone signal filtering adapting to any installation situation. A low-consumption UL-listed power supply is included providing two outputs for convenient signal routing to additional TV sets. Not only do industry experts rave about the DAT BOSS LR LoV/HiV/UHF exceptional long range multi band performance and market leading gain but also the unparalleled manufacturing quality using only the finest materials (aluminum, stainless steel, ABS plastic) ensuring years of trouble free operation in the most challenging environments. The DAT BOSS LR LoV/HiV/UHF is your best option for a long range high gain antenna with automatic gain control and precise filtering to ensure the best possible reception at all times under the most challenging circumstances.
This is a review of the TELEVES DAT BOSS MIX LR as well as a comparison to the UHF Channel Master CM 4228 HD 8 Bay and the Stellar Labs and essentially similar Xtreme Signal Yagi HDB91x. Despite only 21 miles LOS to South Mtn, there are multiple reception issues.
From North Phoenix. 32nd Street and Bell, the following was observed: PHOENIX SOUTH MTN. 21 MILES AWAY

The test took place over several weeks, with each antenna tested at least 5 times during the period.
The antennas were manually adjusted, side to side as well as up/down tilt for best performance on
each channel tested. A portable hand held signal meter was used and then verified on a television
meter as well. The higher of the figures are represented above.
The tests on VHF were conducted since the Televes is both low and high VHF capable. The Channel
Master and Stellar Labs antennas are UHF only and were not expected to perform well, if at all on VHF.
The Channel Master and Stellar Labs were connected to a "JUICE" Amplifier, Televes' is built in.
CONCLUSION: THE TELEVES OUTPERFORMED THE Channel Master and Stellar Labs antennas
in most every case. Only the Televes was able to capture KOLD/CBS 13 Tucson on Rf 32. The other
two antennas had difficulty with KEJR, Phoenix, also on Rf 32. THERE ARE TWO MOUNTAINS THAT
OBSTRUCT A DIRECT SIGNAL FROM SOUTH MTN, 21 MILES AWAY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CELL
TOWERS WITHIN 500 FEET OF THE RECEIVING LOCATION. THE TELEVES REJECTS SIGNALS
ABOVE 608 MHz, THE OTHERS DO NOT.
