Antenna and amplifier advice for Encanto
The farthest main network tower for Encanto is KPNX (NBC), 10 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KUTP is only 10 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
