Does it need external power source? hi,can anyone answer me whether this antenna needs to be plugged into a power source for use?

yes, it does need a receptacle nearby the amplifier to provide power to the amplifier. Amplifier also has a on/off switch which needs to be turned on.

Current for the amp (located on antenna) is carried by the cable. The connector for this can be located anywhere over the length of the cable run. In my case, the antenna is in the attic and the current connection & power outlet for the transformer is located in the basement.Hope this helps.

The antenna's amplification is not powered by a battery, it plugs in to an electrical outlet.

Hello Susan. No, it isn't it needs to be connected to power. It's very nice but I don't consider it portable.

The antenna does not need power. The signal booster does need power but is located at TV.

It has a built in external antenna. It does not have external attachment for any extra antenna you may want to attach. Hope that answers your question.

Yes it has an external FM antenna, a cord that plugs into the back of the unit. I found that the FM reception was good without the antenna and excellent with the antenna. It does not have an external AM antenna. I found the AM reception to be poor.

No. It does not need a power supply. It simply collects the VHF from one antenna and the UHF from another and combines them into one cable.

There is no power source. This is just an antenna. It connects to the tv via a coax port.

Yes. It is amped, so it should also be plugged into an outlet. It is a long cord, but if your tv is far from a window, it can be conspicuous. However, it is powerful enough to get a good signal even away from the window. My tv is in my basement in my office/bedroom with a fuse box, so my previous antenna wouldn't get a signal regardless of placement. This antenna gets 10 by the tv, or across the room by the window, 20-30 based on the time of day. But, yes, there is a cord, but it is very long if needed. I have found that I just take it down when not in use so I don't see the cord all of the time. I don't think there is a wireless alternative, or if there is, its possible efficacy.

It has a standard USB connection, it should power it. I don't know if the 350 has live traffic , that is what the built in antenna is for.

The device does require external power. It cannot run off of USB or eSATA power alone. So, yes, it does plug into an AC outlet if that is what you are referring to.

No external power source required. I added the required AA batteries in order to keep the call memory intact. However, if you want this as a wall phone, you are wasting your money. The receiver does not stay in the cradle.............

Yep, it needs power. However, it can take power through USB as well as AC. Most TV's and HDMI devices it would plug into have USB ports already, and it includes a short USB cable. All of them I have in place now (4) use the USB supplied power.

The camera does need a power source. I did not use the power adapter because I connect the camera to my existing video surveillance system. I hope this answers your question.

Nope! It is a passive capacitive stylus, so it does not require a power source. Only the magic of conductivity.

Yes, mine is plugged in all the time. Love it - easy to use and sound is great. Can't access radio though.
