Perfect Length for Vehicular Applications
on July 15, 2016
Posted by: jrez
Verified Purchase:Yes
In the case of Lightning cables, the theory of "you get what you pay for" holds true. Prior low cost cables that were purchased for vehicular use didn't hold up. Looking through the store, I had the following criteria in place for selecting an appropriate cable:
1.) Short length: The shelf in the car where the phone will temporarily be held is directly below the USB port. Using too long of a cable would result in slack that was not required.
2.) Sturdy build: The knock-off white cables tend to fail too early. Either braided/reinforced cabling or more robust connections between the ports and the cable were a must-have.
This Insignia cable was the perfect length for what I needed. Upon plugging the cable into the USB port and my phone, the Apple CarPlay functionality of my stock headunit worked consistently and as expected. It has held up well since the time of purchase. Reasonably priced for a well built cable.

Launched in 2011, this design established the trend of paper-thin TV antennas. Universally compatible with all HDTVs, the Mohu Leaf 50 offers the benefits and powerful performance of our notorious design coupled with the Jolt Switch USB in-line amplifier to reach a 60-mile range. Control TV signal amplification in real time with a simple ON/OFF switch. When it’s "on", TV signals are increased for clearer picture and sound, sometimes receiving channels beyond your antenna’s standard range. When it’s "off", amplification is bypassed while TV signals are still filtered from FM and cellular interference. When plugged into your TV’s USB port, the amplifier only draws power when the TV is on, saving energy, or use the included USB power adapter with any standard wall outlet. Perfect for suburban areas, compact living spaces, single-TV homes, dorm rooms, RVs…take this efficient antenna just about anywhere you go. Easy to set up and easy on the eyes. Multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF elements receive TV signals from both sides, so you can show either side of the black or white reversible design or paint the Leaf antenna for a customized look. Note: The range of this antenna will vary greatly depending on the height, power, and frequency of signals coming from the TV tower, as well as the height of the antenna installation, the terrain, and obstacles between your home and the broadcast towers. Find your TV towers and channels by using our free Antenna Point app on your android or iOS device.
 

What channels should I get with my MOHU Leaf 50 in St Peters, Missouri?

You'll want to check Antennaweb.org. They'll list the stations via color coding which will help steer you to the proper antenna.

I just purchased the Mohu30 but after a program scan I don't get ch2.

Would I get this ch2 if I purchased the Mohu50? I live in a suburb of Chicago, Il
This is a difficult one to answer. There are specific local channels in my area that I am within range to receive when using an antenna rated for a 50 mile range. Only one does not come in at all, and it does not matter at what height or which wall I place the Mohu 50 on. If your TV set has a manual channel setup mode along with an indicator of signal strength, that may be the most cost effective option to determine if the upgraded antenna will improve your chances of reception.

Do I need another antenna to use with the leaf or just the leaf alone? I saw a YouTube video showing installation and he was also using rabbit ears

You'll only need the Leaf if you go with the 50 model.
