TV Antenna Booster
This amp work ok if you want to boost signals through long coax runs. It really doesn't work for increasing gain for distant stations. If the signal is at the antenna and is weaker but stable because of the distance of the station you will loose the signal when your coax is 25 feet or more. This amp will maintain the signal for coax run up to 200 feet. If the signal is too week at the antenna you will not gain that station by using this amp. The package states 36 dbi in gain this is a little misleading remember if the antenna doesn't see the signal you will not get the signal.
I live two blocks away from a major commercial radio station and its lofty FM transmitter tower. The radio signal lies in the band of TV signals. The strong local signal ramps down the automatic gain control of my HDTV and is always present. That means no weak signals get in to the TV screen because the circuits are fooled into thinking the signal is very strong.
The FM trap is fantastic. When the amplifier first arrived I was disappointed. The weak signals were still absent.
When I tried to put the unit back in the box to return, I re-discovered the switch for the FM trap. I decided to re-connect and test. It was magic. Trap out- no signal. Trap in I got pictures.
This is magic! Highly recommended. Not for cable, but you cable cutters will be pleased!
