Avantek, a leader in consumer electronics and accessories, for a while now have been making quality TV antennas that are favorable among many cord cutters around the world. One of their earlier lines of TV antennas, The AR Line, comes in 3 models, the AR-F12, the AR-F13 and the AR-F14, all comes with a 50 mile range and signal boosters. The older models, The AR-F10 and the AR-F11 have been key entry level models that are still popular these days for some.
Between these lines, Avantek also came out with a series of Ultra Thin Indoor Amplified Antennas which resembles the Avantek AR-F13 Antenna. However, there's several key differences with this series. One of the standout features within these Ultra Thin Antennas is the transparent material used in the design of the antenna that exposes the internal component strip which gives it its' unique look.
Also, consumers have a choice of 2 colors, Black or White, while also being able to chose between the 30 mile range model or the 50 mile range model. Another popular lineup of models is the "AR Line" of indoor antennas that includes the "the Avantek AR 41, the Avantek AR 51 and the Avantek AR 53" which are all unique in their design scheme and features.
These Avantek indoor antenna models have been on the market some time now but receives less popular votes than its sister models in the AR-F Lineup. Needless to say, they all work like a charm!
The Avantek AR-F13 Amplified Indoor Antenna comes in a more commonly used design profile with the square receiver attached to a antenna base. That being said, the design still allows the antenna to virtually disappear into its surroundings, blending in with your other electronics and furnishings and has great flexibility in placement. The AR-F13 Avantek Antenna can hang on the wall, lay on any flat surface or stand on a table using the included stand base. Signal wise, it comes with a great reception range for its similar range counterparts.
The Avantek AR-F13 Antenna, like its sister models, has a 50 mile range reception and comes with a external amplifier signal booster, allowing you to pick up just all you local and many of the top channels in your area. Like all amplified antennas, the Avantek AR-F13 give you more boost for a broader reception range, providing you with crystal clear HDTV channels. The main key difference with this Antenna is its' external amplifier, a built-in low noise and high gain booster which ensures stunning picture and sound reception. This model comes with a much longer 10-Foot coaxial cable unlike the 5-Footer that comes with the AR-F12.
The Avantek AR-F13 mid range antenna that is another great antenna by Avantek and is work the money. As with the new line up of Avantek Antennas, you will see particularly favorable reviews for this antenna along with its' sister model, the AR-F12. Just as the AR-F12, the consumers who have purchased this product reported receiving great reception further than 50 miles away and in some cases, some reported receiving over 100 channels in some markets.
The built in signal booster provides you with some additional range, but there is no definite numbers out there so we can only assume that this is the sole reason for this. The Avantek AR-F13 50 mile antenna with amplifier signal booster comes in all black and has a Ultra-thin design and 10-foot coaxial cable, longer than the 5 footer the AR-F12 comes with.
The Bad
Like its' sister models, there's nothing bad you can say about this 50 mile range antenna, other than the fact some may require additional range because of their location or surroundings and its' common design. The built in signal booster may not work for some people in many cases. Others may not like the plain look to the antenna but in many cases, many consumers who has bought the AR-F13 antenna has been satisfied overall. This being a great antenna, the only overall bad is the 50 mile reception range knowing you can also go for a higher range model.
