 Improve your TV reception with a Winegard AP Series Mast Mount TV Antenna PreAmplifiers

Winegard preamplifiers offer a universal housing that can be used with any off-air TV antenna. Made of high impact ABS material, mast mounted for easy installation. Flexible polyethylene boot covers on 75 ohm; hinged cover on 300 ohm models keep connections clean, dry, weather-protected. Zinc-plated steel hardware; all mounting hardware included.

Selectable FM trap reduces FM signals (88-108 MHz) -15 dB to prevent overload, tunable FM trap reduces a 3 MHz band width by -12 dB. Both adjustable — switchable without opening the housing of the preamplifier.

Preamplifier transistor burn-out virtually eliminated with specialized circuitry featuring fast recovery diode that protects against lightning-caused pulses. Operating temperatures -40° to +140° F. 117 VAC UL and CSA approved power supply is included

Denny - Your TV antenna mast mount pre-amplifiers --- How are preamplifiers powered ? --- I don't see any easy way to get 120VAC up to an antenna if they are AC powered.

Paul, TV antenna Preamplifier's are two part units. The mast mounted preamplifier and the indoor power injector. The power injector is located indoors and requires an electrical outlet. The coax cable down lead from the mast mounted preamplifier feeds into and out of the indoor power injector. The power injector converts the 120V electricity to low voltage DC inserts it into the coax cable and sends it up the cable to supply the preamplifier operating power.
The answer is, the mast mounted preamplifier receives its power via the coax cable from the indoor power injector. Signal splitters should not be installed in line between the mast mounted preamplifier and the power injector unless voltage blocks are in use.. Proper preamplifier installation is crucial but quite simple.

The Channel Master television antenna booster (preamplifier) will amplify digital and HD signals received by your antenna. This antenna preamplifier is a high gain, low noise preamplifier used for weak signal areas to allow a weak signal that is present at the antenna to be amplified to a viewable strength. This TV antenna preamplifier works best for persons in weak signal areas and is subject to overdrive if used in areas with fairly strong signals. In stronger signal areas our medium gain preamplifier, the CM-7778 is a better choice. Preamplifiers are also used if you anticipate distributing your signal with a digital splitter to multiple outlets throughout your house as splitters reduce the signal strength available at each output.

• Combined VHF/UHF inputs
• Gain: 30 dB, 54 to 1002 MHz
• Includes a switchable FM trap
• Outdoor rated housing
• Mast mounted amplification unit with indoor power supply which connects via coaxial cable
• Preamplifier and its power supply can withstand up to 140° F temperatures

Antenna Booster for TV
The most important element of a TV antenna system is the antenna and a close second is the signal distribution system including signal boosters.
