Advantages:
Excellent channel reception, lightweight, easy installation
Disadvantages:
They are not
Comment:
One of the most powerful antennas, he took the passive version with the expectation that if there is a weak signal, then putting an amplifier in the house is much more convenient than an amplifier installed in the antenna, if it suffers from static (thunderstorm), then you have to remove the antenna and change the amplifier, it is inconvenient ... The antenna works perfectly, receives two multiplexes in excellent quality, up to the repeater tower 15 km through a forest with elevation differences. For those who are not in the subject, go to the site (https: //map.rtrs.rf) where we find our settlement and see where the nearest repeaters are located.

Advantages:
The effect exceeded expectations. Easy, which made me happy. The assembly is elementary.
Disadvantages:
Not quite a high-quality build. I had to overtighten almost half of the bolts. So check it out. Such a bonus as an F-connector for the cable is desirable. The caps on the ends of the antenna may fly off. The ends are slightly flattened, so the caps are held due to this. Almost half of the ends were flattened with a hammer. The problem is gone.
Comment:
Signal and quality on all channels 100%. Installed in Simferopol at a distance of 5.5 km. Measured on Yandex maps. Channels 36 and 37. Found 30 channels: 27 TV and 3 radio on 2 multiplexes. And this despite the fact that there is no line of sight of the TV tower. A little, but hidden behind the horizon. Recommend.

I recommend, I caught 2 packages of digital channels 60 km from the Moscow Ring Road in the east of the region. It is not necessary to raise high. The main thing is to turn to the tower.

Advantages:
I bought this antenna in order to guarantee to catch a signal 12 km from the transmitter, but I caught signals from three at once, the farthest of which is 55 kilometers away. And this is very good, since the nearest transmitter does not broadcast all channels.
Disadvantages:
The connector is not protected in any way, I'm afraid it will oxidize (or even rot away) after a few years of use.
Comment:
We were totally out of luck with antennas with amplifiers (including those from Locus). I hope this one will be ok.

Antenna "Meridian 12F" is beautiful, functional and neat. Antenna operation raises no questions. "Locus" is handsome!

Advantages:
Confident signal reception, light, passive.
Disadvantages:
A couple of times a day, signal reception hangs for a few seconds. What is the reason is unclear, maybe the plane flew in the path of the signal, maybe there was a failure on the TV tower.
Comment:
Installed in the attic in a village house 3 degrees up from the true horizon due to the terrain (there is no line of sight to the TV tower). The distance to the TV tower is 32 km. There are two multiplexes, radio. The signal level according to the readings of the attachment is 70-90%, higher when the sky is cloudy. Signal quality (signal / noise) 100%. A second TV tower 61 km away in the same direction is recognized, but there is no video signal. The seller did not recommend taking the active version of this antenna, because there are many returns with a burnt out amplifier, but where to get a spare is unclear. It is connected through a lightning protection of a coaxial cable (5-2400 MHz) so that the set-top box does not burn out. The installation site in the attic had to be carefully chosen, because slate has a strong detrimental effect on signal strength even if it does not cross the direction of the antenna. Under the ridge of the roof, the signal is worse than a couple of meters below.

Advantages:
High-quality assembly, when pulling the bolts, I found out that they were tightened normally :) Easy to assemble. At a distance of 12 km from the tower, it catches even lying on the floor in a wooden house, and if you direct it through the window, it catches perfectly. The instructions contain a wiring diagram for F-connectors - it came in handy. Despite its size, it is very light.
Disadvantages:
Pretty big.
Comment:
It catches perfectly, no amplifier is needed.

Disadvantages:
no

Advantages:
Perfectly made, weighs less than 1 kg, easy to install and set up. At a distance of 42 km (Dmitrovsky district Novoye Grishino) from the transmitting center, it catches without tricks and amplifiers (although the relief is difficult)
Disadvantages:
I wanted to put F-connectors for the cable. A trifle, but then there will be a full-fledged product.
