Model 2A Deluxe receives
standard analog VHF/UHF & digital high definition television signals(HDTV).In addition, does a superb job
with high definition HD radio in fringe city areas.This antenna will receive HD radio and TV signals up to 30 miles transmitting tower.2A
deluxe will solve most if not all high definition TV and radio reception problems.
2A was
designed for placement on hometheater shelfs,stereo racks,second floor areas,high rise apartments/condos and attics.*This
antenna is easy to install requireing no tools or hardware for mounting. You can lay this antenna right on the attic
floor.*May be mounted on a rotor in the attic for 360 degree reception.A few of our customers have
used four nylon ropes supporting 2A deluxe on a wood plank.Others have placed this antenna on a common
cardboard box.
For FM and HD radio reception,antenna can be used in doors near your receiver.Model 2A deluxe can
be used in pairs for multi-directional reception.
Looking for an EASY install high performance antenna that
will deliver great reception on all fronts?.The Godar model 2A Deluxe is for you.

Technical Specifications.
1,Model
2A deluxe incorporates a large 14 element log periodic with extended 18" reflectors for added gain across the frequency's.
2,Antenna receives analog TV, VHF/UHF + HDTV digital TV & HD RADIO/
scanner/VHF HI/and FM stereo.
3,Polarization: Horizontal,This antenna
is designed to lay flat.
4,SWR:Less than 1.5 at 100 MHZ.
5,Frequency ranges:VHF 50 to 180MHZ VHF-HI
144.0 to 148.0 MHZ/-UHF,HD-470 to 890MHZ/ FM 87 to 108MHZ/ Additional Frequency's /Police,air Traffic control,weather
band,ship to shore 1.8 to 4.0 MHZ/ 28.0 to 29.7MHZ /26.925 to 27.230 MHZ. Tested to the 6GHZ Frequency range.Receives
closed circuit video transmissions.
7,Highly "directional" design for pinpoint station clarity.Eliminates
pixel distortions in high definition digital broadcast signals.Station blinking in and out on HD radio.Prevents
TV pictures from blinking in and out.Picture freezing etc.Zooms in on all low powerd local and fringe FM stereo
stations.
8,Passive non amplified design.No signal amplifier (uses
no electricity)
9,Excellent for high end Fm stereo tuner applications.
Performs well in severe multi-path situations like mountain valleys or downtown city areas.
Antenna
also reduces background noise across the FM band.*Model 2A Deluxe has tested to receive Fm stations up
to 100+ miles away. 1 to 40 mile range is typical for FM reception and this antenna.Your area can and will vary.
Directional
design helps receiver lock in on weak FM analog and HD radio stations.
10,2A may be used in pairs for omni-directional TV/HDTV/HD radio or FM analog,scanner reception.(see
last photo on right side of page)You will have "two" highly directional antennas receiving
signals from*four directions(2 FM signals being optimal).Two antenna are placed in a cross formation pattern separated
by a 3 ft spacer.This configeration can be north, south, east,west or north east,south east etc.Cardboard or
wooden box's are ideal for support of the second antenna.Model 2's are connected in series
with a common 2 set cable coupler.*One can achieve reception from 4 directions with-out the use of a rotor. Ideal
set-up where station towers are located in opposite directions.
* Although
coax inputs are considered antenna front.This antenna can receive stations from the opposite direction(not as strong
as the coax front).You point the coax side to the desired station direction for best signal gain.You can receive
at least two weak FM/ TV/and HD radio stations from opposite directions useing two directional antennas in
series. Some users reported multiple weak stations received using this configuration.Great for someone who lives near two
or more city areas.Ideal set-up for FM,HD radio or TV/HDTV stations transmitting towers in opposite directions.
11,Coax input is considered antenna Front(point to direction station transmitting towers
for maxium signal gain).
12,Cabinet size: Length 52" by width 9.1/2 ,1" in height.
13, We
supply a 6ft coax cable with this antenna.Lengths from 25 to 75 feet of RG6U cable can be added with little signal loss for
remote area installs like attics.
A note on Omni-directional antennas:Why many
do not work receiving weak stations.
Omni design receives local strong signals
360 degrees at constant set gain.In other words,all directions same signal strength. Omni antennas can NOT zoom or focus
in on a weak transmitting station.You have SET signal gain pattern in all directions.This is why directional
antennas are superior. They can be angled and will have superior lock-in power on a weak signal for maximum
gain.

Godar Test and
measurement report for distant FM reception.
*Original Model 2a Deluxe lab testing
was conducted in the east side of the city of Phoenix in the state of Arizona.Our findings Are as
follows.
Antenna was placed 6 to 8 ft off ground level indoors.Located inside a one story brick building.
Antenna was pointed in all directions.
2A deluxe received
8 Fm stations 100+ miles away.Typical meter measurements at *one quarter signal strength. We used signal
measuring equipment and a variety of consumer FM tuners from high-end to low end.
(please visit our tuner page on this
site) Click on the FM tuner tab.
Each tuner,receiver has its own unique specification.
No two tuner models are the same.Even same model numbered tuners can have slight differences in performance.Some tuners do
better on a signal while others fall short.In some cases, a FM station signal will be missing all together on a
given tuner model.We used a variety of vintage tube and early Japanese/European models.Also used more recent quartz locking
tunning systems found in current home theater receivers.
City of Tucson is
one example at 100 miles away from our location.We can receive five Tuscon Arisona stations
clear(with a stereo signal) with a varity of Fm tuners from low to High-end.
*Another city we received was Prescott AZ at 130 miles away. This station came in weak at
best.This station was still listenable inspite of the background noise.
Antenna
pointed south-eastern direction for the city of Tucson.
Many customers
have posted reviews with similar experiences on distant reception with the model 2A Deluxe.Long distant FM reception
is possible depending on your location.
Antenna placement and good
tuner gear will provide the user best results. Your area and elevation can play a role on your reception.Typical
Fm reception for most users averages from 10 to 40 miles. We have found over the years in most cases, the user
is trying to improve one or two local weak FM stations.This is why they purchase a better FM antenna.
*One quarter or 1/25th signal strength out of a possible 100.
________________________________________________________________________
Best way to test to see if you can receive a weak FM station in your area.
First:
Try your car stereo outside your home. Move the car to
check your stations signal.
If the station is present, there's a good chance you can receive that
station in your home using one of our antennas.
Second:
Take a portable FM transistor radio or boom Box and try in different locations near your stereo
system.If one can extend there flat lead to a common wire dipole antenna,move it in different areas of your stereo room.
Still no luck in your home?.
Place some batterys
in the AM/FM boom box and try the attic.Tune to the desired station or stations.
Move the boom box antenna rod in different directions and areas of the attic. Once a good signal location
is found, mark it with a string or tape for future antenna placement.
System
in the basement?.Reception is always difficult in these areas.We have some reports from customers
placing the antenna in a first or second floor closet. They drilled a hole threw the floor and fed the cable into the closet.Antenna
sits in a shelf.
Others would feed the cable out the basement window and run along the side of the house.Then run
the cable into the attic threw a window corner frame.Cable can also be fed under the roof eve.Antenna maybe be
placed under outside eves.Antenna must be covered from rain and sun.
