    Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT HDTV Preamplifier, TV Antenna Amplifier Signal Booster, HD Digital VHF UHF Amplifier (10x Power, Low Noise, 20 dB Max Gain) - USA

    • The plastic on the pre-amp feels flimsy and slightly rattles, it is only designed to be mounted with zip ties and the mounting location for them is below the mass of the amplifier which causes the top of it to be off-center of slightly dangle forward off the mast
    • , you need it the size that is resonant for the frequencies you want to receive, yes, that means it's big, but don't fall for the promises of these garbage plastic round and square things with built in amplifiers, you need metal in the air
    • I expect the plastic will weather deteriorate quickly and then the delicate circuit board, well you get the picture
    • Finally, the power injector power plug is made of very cheap plastic that creaks when you squeeze it too hard and doesn't feel like acceptably sturdy quality even though it is working.
    • First impression the plastic is cheap, the circuit board is delicate
    • Aside from that the housing of the delicate components is cheap plastic.
    • and now it's a block of useless circuitry and plastic
    • 90%, an amplifier might not make any difference as you can't improve on that for a digital signal
    • The signal was great but when we added a splitter, the signal deteriorate a
    • The antenna was missing a
    • so out goes the device; disappointing as this is one of the first items from Amazon that didn't work as it said it would.....
    • The ability of a TV tuner to "tune in" a particular signal depends entirely upon the difference in strength between the signal and the surrounding electrical noise, called the signal to noise (S/N) ratio.
    • It improved my T V signal and was easy to install.
