Antenna and amplifier advice for King of Prussia

The farthest main network tower for King of Prussia is WCAU (NBC), 9.1 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WPSG is only 8.8 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.
