[Sentoa] Digital Marine TV Antennas

Jim,

I posted this awhile ago.

Digital signals are the same frequencies as analog, so no special antennas are required.

We have a Radio Shack Omnidirectional antenna (about $60) which works well. It comes with an amplifier (low drain). They have a similar Unidirectional antenna, but this is no good when you are on the hook.

This is a relatively small light unit, about 18 inches in diameter, which we mount on a 4 foot - 1 inch PVC pipe on the cabin deck so it has an unobstructed view. We take it down when underway, though it is weatherproof and could be mounted on a mast. 

We had excellent results up and down the ICW either in town or on the hook.
