Thank You! :B

Sorry to see anyone saying you made a bad choice OlFarmer! You did not make a bad choice, you just made a choice. It's likely you didn't even know about the Sensar Pro in the first place. Secondly, the replacement wall plate cost around $15 and a Sensar Pro costs around $100. You did nothing wrong and you did not make a bad choice.

Thank you for your comment Bill!

Not luck and you made a bad choice.. they only make about 4 versions of that

1: Standard has been in use for a long. logn time. has 3 coax on back one on front
2: 3-TV type. has a 4th coax on back
3: "Remote" (this has only two coax fittings. in and out and is designed to be used with a remote switch. IT DOES NOt select cable when off. techincal name is ower inserter

Sensar PRO that's the new one. and that's what you should use as your replacement if you have to replace it

OH and with the exception of the Sensar Pro IT IS NOT A BOOSTER.. Just a power supply and coax switch and splitter.

Well, maybe a bad choice for you but it works perfectly and was not expensive, and fits in the original hole. It didn't work at all until I replaced it and I am VERY satisfied! To each his own, I don't know why people feel the need to be so critical.

I got it fixed. I changed out the cable plate ,the light was on with other one but dim. Thanks everybody

4th configuration: My Antenna power supply is built in to my BOMB.

So was Mine.. but the Sensar Pro goes between the BOMB and the antenna. it is specifically designed to IGNORE the power from the BOMB and work (not all pre-amps are)

YOu can not believe the difference it makes in some campgrounds.

The most common problem with a Winegard antenna more than 5 years old is the Coax F-59 at both the antenna wing and the junction splice just below the antenna mount plate----rust corrosion has corroded the coax wire. This does not cause a short that would trip the booster LED light to go off or blow the fuse. ALWAYS check these 2 connections first. The splice in the ceiling cavity where the antenna wire goes thru the mount plate can usually be accessed inside by removing the crank directional assbly. If you have a coax that does NOT go thru the antenna mount plate hole and you have a square metal plate in the roof next to the antenna, corrosion is almost certain. Doug
