Do I need power at the antenna or can I plug in the amplifier farther down the line at ground level?

We used our Winegard AC adaptor further down closer to the TV. It states use indoors only, in dry locations only.

I used a powered amp that the cable screws into and it was placed in my attic where I had a power supply.

You can plug the power in for the at a point that you can connect to the injector which powers the built in preamp. Just remember to install the injector before a splitter if one is being used.

It's been a while since I installed mine, but I don't think there was any requirement for power at all. It just plugs into the antenna port on the radio.

You will need an out door antenna as well as a indoor antenna or a direct connect. Mine was too stong even on low settings. So I returned the amp. hope this helps

No. This is designed to work with non amplified antennas. You would burn out one the amps. Maybe both.

Mostly in the window. It works better if the pre-amplifier is away from any interference i.e. away from TV and other electronics. I recommend to use a 6 to 8 feet coax cable between the pre-amp and the TV in order to stay away from interference . In my case doing so, it works very well.

This may seem a bit confusing but....... The Signal Cable that is attached to the antenna (mine is mounted on the roof) and the other end of the cable gets connected to a small signal amplifier that can then send the amplified signal to a single connection or be split into multiple connections. This allows you to place the small amplifier wherever you want and it can be connected to AC power at that location.

The preamp unit itself should be placed on the antenna, or any signal gain from the preamp at the antenna would be lost over the longer coax cable. The power for the preamp does not need to be close to the antenna, though. I have the antenna and preamp in my attic, but the power for the preamp is in my basement.

Yes, but signal tsrength is the problem of its use. Bee sure youar lined up witg the source, and[position the antennae for max reception.

If you require a longer coax than that which came in the box (12 feet), you might consider buying an amplifier to help it out. Otherwise, placing it horizontally near a wall closest to your weakest stations should do the trick.

No. The high level inputs are just for signal. But believe me when I say that you wont need the extra power.

As long as there is line of sight, you would just have to turn down the power until your receive index is around -65db on either side.

Inline is inline. The closer you can get the amp to the antenna the better.

Yes, for the amplifier, but not needed for the antenna itself if you don't use the amplifier. (I found that the amplifier was unnecessary.)

Also, if possible only use equipment with a grounded 3 prong plug. Without the third ground connector on the power cord the equipment can't be properly grounded and so ground loop hum will be harder to avoid ...

The antenna is not great and there may be feedback to damage the output transistor on 7w. Get a dipole online and then go to 7w.

I live in fringe area for reaching tv stations. The amp did help in pulling in additional stations. I have a long cable run from outside antenna to location of led tv.

No, that will do no harm. The device will amplify whatever signal is on its input side. If you an Access Point has 50db and your antenna is 18db gain the amp output should theoretically be 82db.
