This is a review of the Tram 1480 Dual Band base antenna. I was surprised to find this antenna on the Home Depot website while searching for a TV antenna mast. This peaked my curiosity and after a little more searching I found it available from Walmart and Amazon as well.
Unfortunately, after shooting this video I learned that this particular model has been discontinued. There are 2 other Tram models that are still in production. The 1477 is a shorter (44 inch) version and the model 1481 is a higher gain, 17 foot tall version. Links to the current and discontinued models are listed below.

The links below are to the discontinued model (1480). The sellers were listing limited stock as of October 2020. There are 2 versions of this antenna. The 1480 model is white. The 1480-b model is black.
These are NOT affiliate links, they're just what I found when searching:
As of Oct 18, 2020, Home Depot is now showing the model 1480 as out of stock.
