SS-3000 (Sharpshooter) vs SS-2000 (Squareshooter)

[jobe1981]

I currently have the SS-3000 Sharpshooter installed & it works well for indoor use in condo 10th floor, bouncing signal from a building directly in front of me, that I have placed against a window in Northern Exposure (most signal are coming from South & I face North & cannot mount external).

A few channels cut in & out, and some work better if I point to a different building while sacrificing different channels. I am thinking of upgrading to the SS-2000 Squareshooter. This would also be against a window pointing in the same direction.

Should I upgrade?

Good morning jobe1981 -

We have been experiencing some database issues over the past few days. I posted a response to this question but we had to reload a backup from a few days ago.

The SS-3000 receives both VHF and UHF channels while the SS-2000 receives only UHF channels. I would recommend taking a look at the FreeVision FV-HD30.

If you would like a more detailed response please respond back with your zip code or address and the channels you are trying to receive.

Hi there,

My reply post seems to have been erased.

I am able to place the antenna outside - I am in a condo, 10th floor, North facing & bouncing the signal off the buildings in front of me. I currently recieve 25 Channels. Need a low profile antenna - the Sharpshooter is doinga great job. I am located in Toronto Canada - my Postal Code is M2N7H4.

Is there any advantage to the Squareshooter?

The FreeVision FV-HD30 can be mounted indoors and can even be painted to match your wall if desired. You can find more information at http://www.winegard.com/freevision/index.php.

The Squareshooter is not VHF capable so you would lose your VHF stations. I would not recommend switching to this antenna. I would recommend looking at the FV-HD30 mounted indoors.
