HD / DIGITAL TV

APPLICATION
The Channel Master CM-2016 is a compact outdoor TV
antenna that is engineered to receive high quality digital
/ HDTV broadcast over channels 7 to 51. Since most
broadcasts after the June 2009 analog shutoff will be made
on channels 7 to 51, the CM-2016 is a perfect choice.
Note:

For low band channels 2 to 6,

oversized antennas will be needed.

22 KHz tone switching

Deluxe model with 13/18 V battery pack and charger

CM-1004IFD

CM-1007A

The CM-1004IFD and CM-1007A aid in the

alignment of a satellite dish. They include
satellite IF (950 to 2150 MHz) amplification
and a broadband detector. The detector drives
a meter and a variable frequency audio tone.
The dish is then aligned for maximum meter
deflection or highest pitch tone. A gain control
allows a wide range of input signal levels.
The units are connected to the LNB via a short
coaxial cable. The CM-1004IFD output must
be connected to the satellite receiver in order
to supply power. Both units operate from 11
to 24 VDC on the coaxial cable. Connection
to the receiver is optional with the CM-1007A,
but extends battery life between charges.
All models allow measurement of voltage
on the coaxial cable. The CM-1007A also
measures LNB current and includes an
internal rechargeable NiCad battery pack,
carrying strap and a wall plug recharging
unit. The internal battery pack allows a dish
to be aligned before it is connected to the
satellite receiver.
The battery pack is
switchable between 13 and 18 V output,
allowing either polarization to be selected
when used with a voltage switched LNB.
In US DBS applications, LHCP is selected
when the LNB voltage is nominally 17 V.
The CM-1007A now includes a 22 KHz tone
switching signal to facilitate multi-satellite
installation and alignment.

HD ANTENNA SELECTION & SPECIFICATIONS

HDTV ANTENNA SELECTION
A receiving antenna is a device for intercepting the electromagnetic
waves or signals, sent from a transmitter. Some antennas are
simple vertical poles; others are small wire loops attached to the
back of a television set.
The outdoor TV antenna design, which most of us are familiar with,
is the central horizontal boom with small elements attached at
right angles.

The main receiving element of an antenna is called the dipole. All

of the other antenna parts are designed primarily to help the dipole
do its job. The transmission line is attached to the dipole which
consists of two half-elements. All other antenna parts are designed
and positioned around the dipole.

HDTV ANTENNA TYPES

Television antennas can be grouped into five major, functional
categories:
HDTV
VHF / FM

Commission (FCC). A reshuffling of FM, amateur, and other

bands removed TV from the frequencies previously reserved for
TV channel 1. Because the other 12 TV channels were already
numbered 2 through 13, the channel 1 designation was dropped.

VHF HIGH / UHF

UHF ANTENNAS

VHF high band/ UHF antennas receive channels 7 to 69.

After the analog shutoff in June 2009 the full power stations
that will remain are channels 2 to 51. However only 2% of
the TV stations in the country will use channels 2 to 6, so the
VHF high / UHF will become more popular.

UHF (Ultra High Frequency) antennas are designed to receive

TV channels 14 through 69, the UHF TV band. The UHF TV band
originally extended from channel 14 to channel 83. However, the
FCC now has reassigned channels 70 through 83 (also known as
the translator band) to mobile communications use. Although there
are still many antennas capable of receiving all 82 channels, the
translator band (former TV channels 70 through 83) is of no use to
the TV viewer. UHF TV antennas come in a wider variety of shapes
and sizes than VHF / FM antennas. The variety of UHF designs
is possible because they do not require the long elements as do
VHF / FM antennas.

VHF / UHF / FM
FM ONLY combinations

VHF / FM ANTENNAS
Most VHF (Very High Frequency) antennas are engineered to
receive TV channels 2 through 13. They also will receive the
FM radio band, which is located between TV channels 6 and 7.
Channels 2 through 6 are known as the low band. Channels 7
through 13 are referred to as the high band. Some VHF antennas
are designed to receive only one band, either the low or high band.
Antennas designed to receive both the low band and the high band
are called VHF/FM broadband antennas.

COMBINATION UHF / VHF / FM ANTENNAS

Combination UHF / VHF / FM TV antennas are designed to receive
both the UHF and the VHF / FM bands. Although the use of separate
antennas for each band is ideal for peak reception, high-performance
UHF / VHF / FM combination models are readily available and are
the more popular choice.

TV channel 1 disappeared in the early days of TV because of a

change in frequency assignments by the Federal Communications

WHICH AN TENNA WO R KS
BEST FOR YOUR LO CAT IO N ?
Selecting the right antenna can be an easy task when you have the
right information. One valuable tool is the Consumer Electronics
Associations antenna selector web site WWW.ANTENNAWEB.ORG
where you can find out which TV channels are available in your
area, including the direction of the transmit towers and the TYPE
OF ANTENNA needed to receive these stations. On each antenna
box you will see the CEA antenna selector chart classifying the
antenna. For example, if the web site says you need a medium
directional antenna, choose the antenna that is classified as a
medium directional or better. The Antenna Reference Chart, on
page 19 of this catalog, shows the CEA classification for all
Channel Master antennas.

SUPERIOR RECEPTION FEATURES

AND RUGGED WEATHER-DEFYING STRENGTH
All models feature heavy-duty elements designed to withstand
wind and weather, including ABS insulators able to endure,
even hurricane weather. Reinforced element sleeves provide
added strength at greatest stress points on long elements.
Spun boom ends on all models offer stability in high winds and
prevent annoying wind whistle.
Sturdy snap-locks and reinforced sleeves are on longer
elements for all Channel Master antennas.
Double boom truss construction on larger ULTRA-HI
CROSSFIRE antennas keeps elements in-line and prevents
antenna sagging even under heavy ice loads. High-strength

20

truss boom braces reinforce the double boom and prevent

structural distortion.
All-aluminum phasing crossover harness available on
all ULTRA-HI CROSSFIRE (see Page 6) and ADVANTAGE
(see Page 7) models for years of excellent reception that
include insulating spacers to prevent shorting and keep all
elements working in perfect harmony.
Free outdoor balun kit, CM-94444 (Page 15), is included with
most antennas.
