(More customer reviews)One of the highest-gain mass-market TV preamps you can get, good in fringe areas where all the TV signals are weak; however, if you also have a strong TV station nearby its signal can overload any high-gain preamp and degrade all channels. Also, nearby lightning strikes within a few blocks can blow preamps even without direct contact.
This one from ANTOnline worked OK, but be aware that Winegard has outsourced production to China and it seems that reliability of this and all items formerly made in the U.S. have fallen drastically (not just my opinion!) - this is the 2nd Winegard preamp I've bought and the first one (not purchased from ANTOnline) was DOA and had to be replaced under warranty with the added postage expense. So, if you get a Winegard preamp that works that's good, but don't be surprised if it doesn't. Geez, even the simple packages of pre-cut RG-6 TV coax cable you need to wire this preamp up can't be trusted if they come from China - I bought 2 separate U.S.-branded packs now made in China and one was shorted and the other open, I had to cut the connectors off and put on new ones. And that wasn't all - I also bought a new antenna rotator that had been outsourced from the U.S. to China, and it broke down in just 2 days! Give us a break! It almost seems like a conspiracy!
