0 of them are within 25 miles of Davenport, 11 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 7 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Spokane, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Spokane's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Davenport
Point your antenna E, at about 97°. The main network towers for Davenport sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Five network stations, KREM, KSKN, KGPX-TV, KHQ-TV and KAYU-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles east of Davenport (96° E). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Davenport at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Davenport, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Davenport
The farthest main network tower for Davenport is KAYU-TV (Fox), 40 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KXLY-TV (ABC), 52 miles east, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.
An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
