my antenna is on a 41 foot mast will it be ok to extend the RG6 cable powering the pre-amp??

I had a 200' RG6 run. The voltage drop was within specs for the CM7777, which has a 30db gain vs the 16db gain for the CM7778 model. I am about 37 miles from the transmitting towers.FYI, my first CM7777 was DOA, the second crapped out within a week. If you open it up to look at the board, you are going to wonder what you shelled out 60 bucks for.

Longer the wire more connections the week the single.but you can if you need to.

I was told that those antennas weren't very good by the people at Solid Signal. In any case, I'm in a fringe area and have an antenna designed to pull in signals from 60-70 miles. The Motorola Booster will only amplify what it gets from the antenna. There are times when I have 100% signal strength and there are times when most channels disappear completely. A mast mounted pre-amp may help with signal strength to the booster. The booster is really meant to feed into a splitter to distribute a signal to multiple sets. It can't create what isn't there. Mine is in my attic and feeds four rooms. When there is signal from the antenna, it works fine. I bought a pre-amp for the antenna but haven't installed it as yet.

Yes you can, but you will need a power converter to run it. You will need one the will handle the amp output. And a nice antenna (Fiberglass) will cover 75 acres. If you can, a 18 ft antenna will work the best. There about $100 w/shipping.

If you're receiving a good signal now, the amplifier will strengthen it considerably. It shoudl work the same with an attic antenna as it does one placed outdoors.

The model or strength doesn't necessarily mean a pre amp. Just make sure that when you buy one of these antennas that along with the coaxial connection that it has a power connection (usually USB) for your TV. This secondary connection will power the antenna.

No, it only has a matching transformer so you can use RG-6 cable. You would need something like this 100FT F-f RG6 Patch Cable Blk Premium Retail Blister Pack plus a rotor and rotor wire, antenna amplifier, splitters if you have more than one TV, a tripod roof mount, two sections of steel mast, a grounding block, ground wire and a grounding rod or water pipe ground attachment.

This antenna includes mast mounting hardware but not the mast itself. You will need to purchase an RG-6 cable long enough to reach your TV set. Depending on your signal strength, you may need to buy a signal amplifier. If you use an amplifier, you will need two different lengths of RG-6 cable - Use 1 piece from the antenna to the amp and a 2nd piece from the amp to your TV. The amp needs to be inside but as close as possible to the antenna. Buy two screw-on RG-6 connectors if you buy only 1 cable and cut it at the amp. I used a GE -23 decibel amplifier. I tried an RCA -10 decibel amp but it didn't work very well. If your TV is not digital ready, you will need a digital converter box. Hope this helps!

If you can supply ac power directly to this amplifier, it can replace your existing one. You cannot feed power to this amp over a coaxial cable. Whether it will help your channel reception or not is uncertain, but most likely it won't help that much, if at all. You may find it more productive to reposition your antenna for better reception, if that is possible. Good luck. I hope you find a satisfactory solution.

The power entry unit is thru the splitter and you can place it anywhere that the RG6 cable passes near a 110 recepticle. Plan for this. It doesn't have to be placed at the amplifier, which should be placed just under your eave to protect it from water entry, though it is sealed. Make the cable from the antenna to the amplifier as short as possible, but protected.

With a diploe at 50 feet up about 5 miles on high 7 watts. The higher the antenna the better. Also get a power supply that grounds the negative to avoid a hum noise. (I only run mine on low so I don't get a letter of non compliance)

I am not sure about a maximum cable length. I would keep your cable runs as short as possible and make sure your connections are tight. The kit comes with 20 foot 30 foot and a 50 foot lengths of cable and I do believe it is standard RG6 coax which carries a signal a long way.

The cable is about 8 feet long yes you can add an extension but I 'm not sure if this will affect the reception

Yes , but not 40 feet down the cable. This is a signal pre-amplifier, system. It consist of the pre-amplifier and a power supply. The pre-amplifier should be installed as close to the antenna as possible. The power supply can be installed anywhere along the cable, though. It will definitely boost the signal levels for you.It should be good for 3 devices up to about 200 feet.

Hi Scott, My husband installed the coupler before the preamp to save the cost of a second preamp. He says that amplifying the signal from each individual antenna and then joining them with a coupler might be inadvisable since the coupler is an impedance matching transformer. Amplifing signal from each antenna would most likely cause distortion of the combined signal due to grossly miss matched current between the two signals. Winegard advises keeping the RG6 cables from both antennas of equal length probably because of impedance matching.

Yes, you need a 4-wire (TRRS) cable to extend. You would have to search for them on Amazon, but you seem to know that it's a TRRS cable, so you should be fine.

You will have to buy the AC adaptor and I'm not sure that the cable for the antenna will be long enough
