Does it work well in very rural areas? Say 50 miles away from major stations?

This would mostly depend on the quality of your antenna, it's correct orientation and how high up you can mount it. You might also try an amplified antenna. Hills, obstructions and weather will also adversely effect your reception.

I get stations that are within 50 miles of me, all the locals except for Fox, and I'm sure if I moved my antenna around some, I could pick it up too. The remote works good, just barely touch it to turn. I believe it goes one way, then reverses, so you can fine tune in the channels. For the price of the antenna I am very happy with it. Maybe one day I will turn it towards Tallahassee and see if I can pick up stations further away, but already getting 10 channels coming in great, and no more than I watch, works great for me. Hope this helped some.

I use my Puxing radio in a location that is mountainous and heavily wooded. At times I have a range of about 5- 10miles. So, the range is dependent upon the terrain.

It picks up stations that are 20-30 miles away on the plain. 40+ miles...too far.

I'm not a techie, but I can't see an issue. It's good for up to 75 miles. It's the lower frequencies you lose. I'm near Niagara Falls, NY and I pull in stations from Buffalo, Hamilton, Toronto, and even Barrie ON.

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 get a pretty strong signal up to 50 feet. It's one of the best investments I've ever made. I love it! Hope this helps you with your decision to purchase one!

I've been outside & up to 30-40 ft away and had it work fine. Good product.

Its not an expensive radio....but mine works well for what it is..I also have a broadcast station about 15 miles from my house though...but for a small packable radio its good.

It has a better receiver than my radio shack radio. I was impressed with the clarity of am, fm as well. 100 miles seems like a possibility if the broadcast station is a strong one.

I never got mine to work at all. I am approx. 30 miles from tv stations. Tried it inside and outside. Finally gave up

We're down in a valley, but have no problem getting stations 30 miles away, and FM 40 miles away. The antenna is very directional and needs a rotor for best performance. If we were on a hill we could get much farther.

I haven't tested it with exact values, but it works well within 0.6 to 1.2 mile radius in the city, and up to about 6 miles radius flatland without any obstacles with 2 of these radios. It is a 5W/UHF with 4W output if that helps for calculations.

We are using ours at the lake where the tower is about 4 miles away. It does pretty good. Alit depends on the quality of the tower reception. It goes up and down at times here in West Texas

I live 45 miles away from the stations. This antenna easily picked up all the stations I wanted. Good luck! Please check out www.tvfool.com for more info on stations you can get in your area.

I don't know how big the range is. It worked ok for me but the local stations are very close by. It probably average. It is going to depend where you live and the geography between you and the broadcast towers.

I suspect that you would get pretty good reception depending upon how open the area is around it. I'm mounted around 9 feet off the ground with houses and trees all around, but still get amazing reception (picking up stations from all major markets within 50 miles).
