Great video. That little tool is great but doesn’t fit over my R11 cables and fitting ends. But I guess a lot of people don’t overkill their wire runs with R11 like I do?
I bought one of these but I was hoping I could take it apart again to put back in the box for awhile, but I can't seem to figure out a way to get the front 2 snap in elements back off without possibly breaking the orange plastic shell apart somehow. Any insight?
Honestly I would not try taking it apart. There are two spring-loaded metal clips that the elements snap into. Plus the plastic housing has fins to keep the element in place. There is too much of a risk breaking something. You would have to be extremely careful but I wouldn’t recommend taking it apart.
I don’t think you’ll regret this antenna. Are you aiming at 2 markets, or are the broadcaster towers in 2 directions? Here’s my review of the Ellipse Mix: Televes Ellipse Mix Outdoor TV Antenna Review Model 148883 ruclips.net/video/veWVeJkJscA/видео.html
And for what it’s worth my review of the Clearstream 1Max: Antennas Direct Clearstream 1MAX OTA TV Antenna Review ruclips.net/video/llregLjufBQ/видео.html
I would also add that the gain pattern of the Ellipse Mix is wider on the VHF band and more directional on the UHF band. Generally, I think most antennas follow this type of gain pattern.

Most people probably use RG6.
Pozdrawiam 👌👍💪🏻
Might be just my view angle, but the engineering seems very smart and tight. I don't always see this on complementary brands.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ nice 👍
I was debating between the 4 Max vs this particular antenna on which would capture a wider swath of TV station receptions.
