I did not buy an FM Trap, BTW

I finally settled on the original configuration aimed at the main source of signals in my area, however I did use an external combiner with a built in FM trap instead of the combiner built into the VHF element

Much experimentation with position and configuration (with or without VHF element, direct connection to main element, adding an FM trap, operation with or without reflector grille, etc.) was required to obtain the best balance between number of channels received and quality of each.

Did O.K. with FM radio stations, too, but I added a preamp with FM trap so that's no longer a fringe benefit

When I asked for instruction regarding how to attach an FM Trap to my Clearstream antenna, he said, "Put it between the antenna and the coax cable

It boosts signals by up to 33dB and has an FM trap

He recommended I buy and FM Trap and attach it to the antenna

We started with an amplified indoor antenna, but that did not work as we had expected, and were only able to get two or three main network channels at any time (after MANY attempts of moving all it over the room at various heights and placements)

Works as it should but not as well as I thought

I highly recommend this antenna as it picks up signals better than any indoor outdoor antenna I've ever owned

The result did not disappoint as I got the vast majority of stations I was hoping to get.

We cannot get line of sight from our home, but the antenna is mounted rooftop as well as we can position it.

It works exactly as it says it
