TV Antennas - again

Hi Dicko
Had a similar issue recently. I use the same Wineguard antenna but have also installed a Hills mast head booster as well. Massive difference. Very happy.

Ditto to the booster.

Hi herks/Joda:

My understanding is that the amp in the Sensar Pro is behind the aerial above the roof.

From Ai:
A Winegard aerial amplifier boosts TV signals for caravan and home antennas. Popular models include the Sensar Pro (adjustable RV signal finder and booster adding up to 10 dB), standard 12V wall-plate power supplies,

The Hill Masthead amp is a mast head amp as well, how have you connected it with the above?.

From A1:

A Hills masthead booster (amplifier) is an electronic device mounted near your TV antenna on the roof mast to boost weak digital television signals before they travel down the cable.

The Hills Antenna FC658261C Q-Amp 4G Masthead Amplifier is a popular digital TV signal booster in Australia. It typically costs between $55 AUD and $75 AUD, often bundling with a power supply unit (PSU6F). It is designed to improve weak VHF and UHF television reception while filtering out unwanted mobile network interference.

Thanks

I have fitted mine at the back of the TV. Lead from the wall plate (Green led Dutton needs to be on) this feeds the 12v to the wineguard antenna) to the input of the mast head amp and then from the output to the TV. However the trick is to ensure that the 2 way splitter on the mast head is a Power Pass type (both channels and that this is two way) I had a lot of trouble and got a TV antenna guy in for some advise.
The Hills mast amp is actually 12v but comes with a 240v adaptor. I just cut off the lead and plugged it into my Vans 12v circuit. So all works when Im off grid as well.
Said that he is constantly servicing caravans and RVs with the same problem.
I am away at the moment and am very happy with my current setup. Best it has ever been.

AI Overview

A two-way power pass splitter is a 75-ohm coaxial device (often using F-type connectors) that splits one input signal into two outputs while allowing bidirectional AC/DC voltage or low-frequency signals to travel between the common input port and the connected output channels. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Core Characteristics

Two-Way Configuration: Splits a single line into two distinct output paths (or combines paths in reverse)
