What is its range, 50+ miles?

I am sorry, I have no idea. It is probably pure hype. The best explanation I can offer you is that Radio and TV signals require, "line of sight." At a height of ~ 10 feet, the horizon is 50-60 miles (FM radio signals do reflected from the ionosphere, increasing the distance they can be received from the transmitter). This antenna does NOTHING to enhance the signal, so any claims about distance of reception are entirely irrelevant.I found this item absolutely useless. In fact, I returned it. It is no better than a simple, 1 meter piece of copper wire. Save your money. I am sorry, I have no idea. It is probably pure hype.

I use the antenna to pull in weak local FM stations, which it does amazingly well, but I don't know the maximum range. However, customer service has always responded quickly to my questions -- you can send them a query at service@tunetrapper.com.

Line of sight seems to help this device. Some seem to have varied results. I'd say I can go 50' or so without breakup. As it gets out of range it continues to broadcast but with interruption and disruption. It's a great device.

I don't really know how far.The farthest I've used it was about 50 yards and the response was immediate..

The manufacturer states that the range is 150 feet. Mine is mounted about 100 feet away and works just fine.

The effective range for this device without any obstructions should easily reach 50ft at full strength. I have personally tested it at a range of 25ft without any interruptions in movement or degradation to it's precision.

It depends on the environment. It has worked fine 50' away but not always. 20' to 30' seems pretty dependable.

Not easy to answer. The unit is well made and serves my purpose at a local airport, but most traffic is within ten miles. Unit is difficult to program, but works well once desired frequency is placed in the personal area of the unit. Don't know how far 45 min is. Could be five miles in mountains or fifty miles on flatlands. Unit seems to receive up to 10-15 miles adequately, but mountains will interfere as most transmissions in aviation and government are line of sight transmissions.

Maybe 50 to 75 feet. Any further out and you can lose sight of this little thing real quick. However, If you have not bought this yet..read the reviews first. I regret my purchase as I don't believe this thing is worth $50

I believe the manufacturer states 45 miles, but I've had success at about 60 miles. Height does matter in this case, I've boosted my signal just by setting the antenna about 1.5 feet higher than it was about 2 weeks ago and it's made a significant difference.

Hey Buddy, Both of mine worked from over 50 feet away. Depending on the terrain, i usually get anywhere from 25-40 feet all the time. A great buy for the money. I am very pleased. Be safe.

It's about 50 miles as the crow flies....With building and mountains, about 35 miles

Don't know for sure, but the signal can reach over 50 feet in open space. So my guess is that it can.

Like the others posted, the distance is pretty far. I have seen up to 50 feet and the light us still good. Haven't needed to go any further.

I'm sure on the range maybe 10-15'. This product did not last very long maybe 3-6 months. I hope this helps.

depending on your antenna it can be a 1/4 mile out to 50 miles, but then you need fcc permits.

That is about the farthest range I could get. The 300 ft. info is bull, as is the131 claim. 50 ft. is about right.

I'm not sure of the maximum. Ours was 50 ft long and got stellar reception.
