Antenna and amplifier advice for Mogul

The farthest main network tower for Mogul is KTVN (CBS), 14 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

KRXI-TV is only 5.2 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.

  2. Point it toward 171° S, the direction of KTVN (CBS), 14 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 25 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
