Channel Master CM 3679 Ultra Hi-Crossfire HDTV Antenna Review
Overall I'm satisfied with the structure and performance of this antenna. There seems to be at least as good antennas available locally I've seen, and satisfies my performance details and price range built. I was very pleased to see that it is produced in the United States.
The problem is that none of the instructions are specific to the antenna. The first page is generic Crossfire for all antennas. The second page, while useful for the correct assembly of the spindleDipole, continues to disregard this specific antenna. This is important because it is a good guide, where to mount the transformer and matching cable. The images do not correspond to the antenna. What that shows, suggests mounting the transformer on the side of the arm with a cable feed almost touching the mains, and the other touching the boom. This is incorrect. A clip for mounting on steel is included for the corresponding processor to create the boom, but not enough distancefit between the connection point and the next item for him. I decided that the best way to mount to mount the transformer is not at all, but simply let hang from the corner terminals mounted on the bottom down by tightening is on the corner reflector coaxial similar to Boom as Figure 8 on the instruction page first. This clip, oddly, is not included. I ended up with the antenna from the back and reworkInstalling the transformer case, because my first attempt resulted in a weak output signal.
In general, it seems that CM 3679 is a new or updated design, are not fully thought through. That is to say, I'm just now trying received two beautiful digital channels that my old antenna would not provide.
