Can I hook this on to a lava antenna and disregard the rotor that is on this antenna?

I wouldn't; unless you know for certain that the "lava antenna" is the same as this antenna.

Should be able too, as long as the Lava rotor is locked in place and can'tturn in the wind.

You should be able to use this rotor with your Lava antenna. I am assuming that you mean the Lava antenna has a rotor attached to it.

I agree. Look at the Firestiks or Wilson antennas if you want to thread mount it. I posted a pic of the antenna disconnected from the magnetic base if you decide to go this route.

in short, yes. however, you will need to connect the wires coming out of the antenna unit to a relay and then wire it from relay to radio antenna wire. the relay acts as the switch for raising and lowering the mast. a gm antenna relay would work best for this unit.

I needed only the antenna as a replacement, not the motor. Replacement didn't fit. Perhaps the whole unit would have, but I didn't use it.

Yes - it takes a specific antenna connection, I do not know what the specification is.

Use the 2 outside connections. It doesn't matter which antenna you plug into each of the connections.

I am not a technician but since this unit is both a splitter and combiner it should work but I am not certain what you are trying to do. Split or combine? What is the source? The Lava antenna and then splitting off to a cable going somewhere and the other port to an amplifier? Or, are you trying to combine the Lava antenna and the amplifier/cable into one combined signal? I used this unit to combine two antennas pointed in slightly different directions and then routed the combined output to an amplifier and then on to connections throughout the house. It worked perfectly for this and it is one of the few units available that works both directions. I have not used it as a splitter so I cannot give a direct report on how well it works that way except to say that it functions VERY well as a combiner.

No. It just has the option for it. You have to purchase a separate antenna. It is about $13.

No, you'll need an adapter. The Alfa has an rp-sma connector, and this antenna has an n.

Myself just removed the over the air antenna and used extincting hole. Hope this helps

I would suggest you still try the Lava. I have one large tree in front of my home and many large trees in the back. I have had this antenna for almost a year now. The biggest factors to me are where you live and definitely the weather. The cold and rain diminishes availability of channels.

You can purchase a magnetic mount that bolts to the base of this antenna. It is a very strong magnet and worth the money.

Yes, just unscrew the center and change everthing out to the proper hardware you want use. Works very well for the large boomarang antenna I installed on it.

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

Yes that wire will work fine with the rotor. Just make sure your colors connect at each end properly.

Hello,Yes, you can; and I did. However, this is a rather dated piece of equipment now, and the wiring and power were pretty messy. There are other options out there that are more elegant. If you got it for cheap then certainly go with it. You will need a power supply and antenna to connect to it. It gets quite hot too, so isolate it for safety. I used a clamping stand and bundled the wires in the back. As for the antenna, you can make on from a loop of wire, but it is best to go with a manufactured antenna.

You will set it up with a F connector. Mine came with that kit. Here's the specs...http://www.antennacraft.net/Manuals/HBU_web_manual.pdf
