Like its predecessor, the TV-55R relies on a unique helical coil element that keeps the design unobtrusive, yet without sacrificing its ability to capture lower-frequency stations. Pivotal to the TV-55R is that it can be used both indoors or outdoors; its weather-proof and compact design allows it to be placed on a TV, on an outside wall, on a terrace, or even on a roof. Included is a threaded F-connector for connection to a separately purchased RG6 coaxial cable.
