The unit is very well sealed from weather.The plastic and metal parts are very well made too.It is the type of plastic that holds the old big metal antennas together for 30 years. It is compact ,Very powerful unit that doesn't look ugly like the old big units.

It does not give weather information. You need a radio for that to tune into the marine or land forecasts.

It is by no means a truly weatherproof, rigged antenna. But it certainly can be placed outside while you are using the unit. BUT - about the same reception will be attained if you just place this antenna near a window.

I havnt used it during rain but the antenna and everything held up in really dry hot temperatures and the magnettic antenna held on during a storm while driving about 70.

What you want to look for is the gain on the antenna. In most cases, the outdoor antenna will provide between 2 and 3db gain. but you can find higher. Be sure you're looking at an antenna for the right frequency ranges (700 mHz, 800, mHz and 1900 Hz)

It will alert you to any National Weather Service emergency; thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, etc. If you have it on at other times it will simply give you the forecast for your region. Just be sure you have it set to alert if there is any bad weather headed your way.

We have this exact antenna and we get get VHF too. This is the best antenna we have found too. As for the wind, it will catch the wind some but we have ours anchored very well. It's easy to anchor it with the supplied clamps.

Our signal is 20 miles away over flat land snow and wind affects it sometimes. If their is nothing between you and the tower (mountains) it may be possible.

Actually my alerts only go off when using this antenna. I totally recommend using this with the weather radio. Make sure your settings are correct and you are tuned to the correct weather band as there are multiple frequencies

I live in Kansas, Tornado alley, and it hasn't been bothered by passing Tornados and high winds. Modern antennas are smaller than old TV antennas because they don't transmit on channels 2-6 anymore.

It is not good for that. AM, FM, and Weather band frequencies only-- plus, the antenna can be expected to receive from only so far.[For proper reading of this post, please set you snark tuner to level 8]

This antenna will rust. Even though it is advertised as outdoor, it will not last if you mount it outside. The rust greatly reduces it's reception.

I am using it outdoors. I sealed the connector at the antenna with coax seal and have not had a problem

Yes, I believe it is OK to use outside -I use mine outside. It comes with a plastic base that can be screwed onto any flat surface like a floor or a wall. After mounting, the antenna can be angled nearly any direction. It increased my reception from two bars to the maximum of five bars and it brought in several sites that were not previously visible.

As you can see the antenna is a telescoping rod. I took it to a town 10 miles north of the station and had trouble pulling in my HD channel. So it's not so hot when it comes to sensitivity. (Selectivity is marvelous, since it's "all or nothing" with HD radio.)

This antenna has a very strong magnetic mount. You can put it on any flat surface. I've had mine for almost a year and it holds in very high wind...etcGood luck!
