It can't.
I have one. I even took it up on the roof and set it up just to see.
Pointed it toward Philadelphia; nothing
Pointed it toward Baltimore; just an occasional blast of unintelligible
bits on the screen.
It takes a big yagi or a parabolic UHF antenna [mine is 30 feet up] for
that distance.
I also took my Silver Sensor up there too. Same results.
