I have one since 2018. Great antenna and build quality.
I used this video to assemble my antenna. The instructions that came with the antenna were of little help. The only difference is that the hardware was lettered differently from the printed instructions, so I had to make that translation. This video was very easy to follow. Thanks!
I agree, they left a lot to be desired. A lot. Took me about 2 hours to put together. Some things had me wondering like in step one the square screws need to press into the metal. Seems like it should have been square to begin with
The material is soft aluminum the steel lag bolts will cut the square into the round holes, just make sure the square hole of the inner fit aligns with the lag bolt you’re about to use. The tightening of the nut will draw the lag bolt through.
I bought & assembled the new Trifecta DatBoss LR UHF/Upprer & Lower VHF.
Easy assembly, quality build & lightweight for its size.
Best is when positioned correctly, is fantastic pulling in 2 Towers located 68.7 miles & a 3rd tower at 82 miles.
Local towers are not over-amped & are crystal clear.
I also have an Ellipse Mix last years model which is used in an almost 140* separate direction feeding the patio & living room TV sets.
The DatBoss LR feeds only a single TV which is the wife's bedroom TV & without a doubt the most important.
She went from receiving 43 channels with the Ellipse Mix to 61 Channels with the DatBoss LR Mix Trifecta plus as a bonus zero cell phone interference which was bad on 1 particular set of channels for a tower 68.7 miles distant.
Best I can say is this antenna is far & away superior to the rest. I also have a figure 8 type & gave away the dual x box type to my mother in law which are supposedly the top antennas from competitors.
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that DatBoss LR satisfies your requirements!
At what height is your Televes mounted. Most of my channels are around 76 miles away.
This was well worth the extra money compared to one we had earlier for half the price. Mounted it in our attic and the nearest broadcast tower is 57 miles away with a row of evergreen trees in between. Not only do I get all the channels this is pointing at but get channels in the other directions that are 64 miles away. With this and Roku sticks we are able to save about $75 a month from our cable bill even after paying for a bunch of streaming services and our internet.
As for the mast connectors on the support braces, make sure they are as far to the rear of the antenna as possible, while remaining horizontal. The antenna mast will have a lot of weight on the rear side, and this will help to balance it a little.
Great video! Wish this video existed when I was assembling my antenna. Had to stumble through it with the help of only unofficial videos elsewhere. Any videos for the 148383 or 148381 antennas with the Low VHF additional elements?
I bought a Televes Dat Boss Mix antenna (LTE 700), but I don't know if I need to connect it to a power supply or if I can leave it passive? If not, did I do the right thing by buying such a good antenna?
Hello @malina77pl54
The Dat Boss Mix LR works in active or passive mode, it depends on whether you use a power supply or not. The gain differences are 8.5dB vs 36.5dB (with power supply) in BIII and 16dB vs 44dB (with power supply) in UHF.
You can use the reference 5795, 5796, 5504, 5501 for EU power, or also, one EU home amplifier with power supply, for example the reference 5457xx

As for the feedline cable, I used a small cable length to attach it to the antenna. Once assembled, it is very difficult to reach in and access the cable connector! Once the full antenna was assembled, I then used a barrel connector to join the small cable length with my full feedline length.
Step #13 - "Install Dipole Assembly" - th-cam.com/video/7jvhZBRu2Xc/w-d-xo.html - If you connect the cable to the dipole assembly before sliding it into place it's a lot easier.
How do I know what the best model for my area would be? I'm 60 mile from the Broadcasting stations in the Dallas TX Market.
Hola.
He comprado la Antena Dat Boss UHF 149922 y la Fuente alimentación de Televes 550101 de12v, que creo que es la suya.
Quería confirmar tres cosas:
- ¿Qué es el "modo pasivo" si no compro la fuente de alimentación?
- Si la fuente de alimentación es la correcta.
- Y qué cable o cables Coaxiales he de comprar, porque los hay de conectores lisos y de rosca.
Los de rosca son Conectores F que creí se usaban para parabólicas, pero veo que la fuente de alimentación los tiene de rosca, o sea de estos y me parece que de la antena también, pero no lo sé seguro; Tenía entendido que todas las antenas, incluida esta, usan conectores lisos y de ahí que necesito que me confirméis.
Muchísimas, muchísimas gracias por vuestros vídeos, sois de gran ayuda!
Buenas @rafamarx9158
La antena DAT BOSS ref. 149922 ó 149921 incorpora el sistema Bosstech, se dota a la antena con la capacidad de recibir señales muy débiles, sin el riego de ser afectadas por señales muy fuertes, donde además, las fluctuaciones, no afectan a la señal de salida captada. Para activar el Boss, que incorpora la antena, es necesario alimentarla (a través del propio cable coaxial) con un fuente de alimentación de 12 Vcc ó 24 Vcc. Sin la activación del Boss, la antena tiene un ganancia de17dBi (modo pasivo), y activando el Boos, puede llegar hasta 42 dBi (modo activo, que controla automáticamente de nivel de salida). La antena tiene conector F.

La fuente de alimentación ref. 550101, es una fuente de alimentación de 12Vcc, con dos salidas sin amplificar, en conector F, que es valida para alimentar la DAT BOSS. Ten en cuanta que esta fuente no tiene amplificación en la salida, con lo cual, el número de tomas conectadas a las salida, no ha de ser elevado, por que cada toma incorpora pérdidas e igual no llega a los niveles de nivel de señal normalizados de entre 47 a 70 dBmicroV, en la toma. Si su número de tomas es elevado, se puede colocar la refs 560523, 560522 o 560521, con conexión EasyF, que añade amplificación en cada salida, o si lo prefiere con conector CEI, la ref. 545720. Tenga en cuanta, que los niveles de señal en la toma, tienen que estar entre el rango (47-70 dBmicroV), ya que las televisiones no sintonizarán los canales de tdt, con valores bajos de nivel, así como, si los niveles son demasiado altos.
Cable exterior para vivienda 215501 (T-100plus clase A - CPR Fca) o 212501-212502 (T-100 Clase A - CPR Fca). Los conectores, para estas referencias de cables, dispone de conectores F (417101, 417102, 4317) o conectores CEI, en macho o hembra (4130,4131, 437410, 437510, 437610).

@@TelevesCorporation Gracias, leeré con atención vuestra respuesta!
Una última preguntilla si no es molestia, vosotros los cables coaxiales los vendéis por bobinas, no?
No encuentro ninguno de entre 2 y 20 metros que ya venga con los conectores puestos.
@@rafamarx9158 Buenas @rafamarx9158
En nuestra página web tiene disponible, dentro de la sección Coaxial: Cables y conectores, un apartado Prolongadores, donde puede ver los cables preconectorizados disponibles. Las distancias van de 1.5m hasta 5m, pero no disponemos de 20m.

Puede consulta, en cualquier distribuidor de productos Televes, si le pueden vender el cable por metros, para poder realizar su instalación

The guy on the video looks like the dude who used to do 'the most incredible man in the world' commercials for dos equis
Have options to be used in Brazil? How can I buy an similar product to be used in my country?
Please contact assistenciatecnica@televes.com for more information on the distribution of our products in Brazil.

why wont you show us a channel scan
this antenna is on my wish list...
thanks @joe10117 and we take note for future videos

How about Ch 3 - 6?
You need a different variation of this antenna, that comes with another element for Low VHF. Get a Televes 148383 or, if you can not find it, a Televes 148381.
148383 - DAT LR Mix w/ Low VHF (repack-ready)
So, this is for US market only? Max 608 MHz is too low for Finland which need to be till 690 MHz.
Unfortunately, this antenna is specifically designed to be used in USA, so it is not distributed in other markets such as Finland.
However, there are other alternatives such as the Ellipse MIx antenna that covers VHF band (174-230MHz) and UHF band (470-690MHz).
If you have any concerns, please contact to info.scandinavia@televes.com
I got the direction I should point it from antenna man. Any tips on the tilt?
As for the plastic spacers for the three UHF beams, be sure to orient the spacer so the square hole on the end is at the bottom, not the top. The square hole is for water drainage, I think.
the antenna seems no better than previous shaped model oval. shape is the main antenna
not other dipoles
why cant the other dipoles connect to where antenna wire goes...
The performance of this antenna is slightly better than the Ellipse MIX and that's the reason this model is recommend for fringe reception, few dB is a key factor when the signals are weak.
The dipole on both models share the same shape.
Does this answer solve your question?
