You can trust my review, bad or good is your choice and i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

I bought this antenna for the purpose of receiving a single TV station: WTNH in New Haven, Connecticut. WTNH broadcasts on physical channel 10. The effective radiated power is only 12.4 kilowatts in my direction, and I am 48 miles from the transmitting tower on a line of sight. At my location, TV Fool rates the noise margin at 28.3 db and the power at -62.5 db.

Most of my channels are received via a Winegard HD-9095P UHF antenna: WINEGARD HD9095P UHF High-Gain 39-Element HDTV Antenna. The 9095 has the unusual feature of having a VHF input to its balun. I have 12 feet of RG6 quad shield from the YA-1713 to the 9095, then 100 feet of RG6 quad shield from the 9095 to my Panasonic plasma. The YA-1713 is mounted only eight feet above ground level inside of a detached garage. The YA-1713 "looks" at WTNH through an exterior wall consisting of clapboards over two by fours. My detached garage does not have insulation or an inside wall. I'm not using an RF amplifier.

The result is a perfect, glitch free picture. Of course, the trees don't have leaves yet here in Western Massachusetts. I'll post back later if the reception degrades when the leaves come out.

I've given the YA-1713 five stars for its extremely impressive performance. However, I do have concerns with its build quality if you intend to use it as an outdoor antenna. First, the rivet that attaches the reflector to the boom was loose on arrival. This allows the reflector to wobble and there is no way to tighten the rivet. Second, two of the latches that hold the elements open were damaged just from unfolding the elements gently during assembly. Third, the elements are easily bent during careful mounting and have to be bent back into alignment after the antenna is in its permanent location.

I suspect that a YA-1713 that is used outside will have to be repaired or replaced after every heavy ice storm. Fortunately, heavy ice storms are a rare event even in western Mass. Given the excellent performance and low price, the YA-1713 would still be a good choice even if you had to replace it every five years or so. The alternative would be the equivalent Channel Master antenna for a bit less performance but beefier construction.

Update 5/24/2011: The leaves are out and the run of RG6 quad shield cable to my TV has grown to more than 140 feet. Still no RF amp in use. WTNH remains glitch free at all times. I previously described the YA-1713's performance as "extremely impressive," but I would now describe it as "superb."

Update 6/14/201: As described in my review, I was using the balun of my Winegard HD-9095P as the UHF-VHF combiner until recently. I've since found that using a Blonder-Tongue ZUVSJ as the UHF-VHF combiner yields slightly higher signal strengths for both the YA-1713 and the HD-9095P. I've also added this RF amp with very good results: PCT 1-PORT BI-DIRECTIONAL CABLE TV HDTV AMPLIFIER SIGNAL BOOSTER WITH PASSIVE RETURN PATH. I'll post a separate review for that item eventually.
