We have an Amerilite 21 TT. It did not come with the built in tv signal amplifier. We do have the wingman. A few years ago while camping with very weak tv signal, we stopped at an Ace hardware and I bought an amplifier. It made a big difference.Recently on a 2 week trip in the mountains of NC, after driving we found it on the floor, and haven't had any signal since. I bypassed it and got a weak signal.Can anyone recommend one, or explain what I should be looking for in one. TIA

I'm surprised a 2009 model would NOT have amplified antenna.Amplifier is IN the head of antennaWall plate TV coax cable connects to has ON/OFF buttonON..DC powers amplifier for TV reception'OFF...when using cable connection on exterior of RVOr

Do a search on this forum and check out all the threads on antennas, boosters, wiring, and how to do its. Its all been posted and explained in detail many times. Too much information to go back and try to repeat again. Depending on where you are, there just may not be much signal available. Generally antenna boosters are OK, but if there is nothing there, there is nothing to boost. Digital signals do not seem to just taper off with distance, at some point they just drop completely. The old analog signals just tapered off with distance, and antenna amplifiers really helped. Not so much with digital now

Sorry Old Bisquit, but it does not have that. I have seen people argue this before, I'm guessing it was a cost thing (save $20 ).The one I have that died has 24 db gain. I see online with more or less gain. I assume more gain is better in a weak signal area.I will search the forum, I just though it was a simple question. I guess not.

I just went through all 4 pages that come up under antenna booster. It was no help at all.I'm not boosting wifi, I don't have a built in booster. There is no switch or light.The question was about what the specifications on a booster actually mean.Is 24 db better than 15, and 36 better than 24, in a fringe area?

i have one that says Emersonplugs directly into a wall outlet or power strip, NO wall worthas a hi-lo switch and (2) outputs for TVsand a switch that says ac or cable, which is the choice of inputuse an antenna cable input or house hold wiring input as antennai don't remember what the max gain isbut when searching compare signal to noise ratio specsif listedthe better the noise rejection the better the output signal to the TV

Amplifier is IN the head of antenna
Wall plate TV coax cable connects to has ON/OFF button
ON..DC powers amplifier for TV reception'
OFF...when using cable connection on exterior of RV
