FM antenna amplifier

Tedkurtz...The best setup would be an amplifier on the antenna and one long downlead to the amp power supply which is located inside, and sends low voltage DC up the wire to the amp. Then coming out of the amp power supply (indoors) use a splitter to feed all your FM sets.

Hi Eldaford.... That is exactly what I will be doing. Thanks for your terrific assistance. Much appreciated. Ted

If you do use a Winegard or Channel Master TV pre-amplifier for FM, make sure the FM trap setting is the one that lets the FM signal through at full power.

A lot of people are unaware of the FM trap and then can't understand why the preamp does not work for FM very well. It should work great. FM is between VHF channels 6 and 7.

Can BOTH the amplifier and power supply (preamp) be used and connected to each other INDOORS? Or does the amplifier have to be located up by the antenna on the roof?

Sugarbrie...Anyone who is unaware of the need to set the FM trap has not read the instructions that come with the unit. But, as you suggest, sadly this may be the case.

Tedkurtz...Of course you can use the amp indoors, but that lets it amplify any noise picked up in the wire down from the antenna. If you just want an amplified splitter (distribution amp) for use indoors Radio Shack sells those too.
