At one RV show, looking at a firth wheel, I asked the salesperson where the TV antenna boost switch was. He showed me. BEHIND the TV (enclosed cabinet). Once the TV was installed, no access. Guy said one could leave the switch "on" all the time. Needless to say...no sale. Whoever designed this one was not an RVer....neither was the salesman.
The (now called) BOMB...is nothing more than a large A/B switch for all your toys. OTA, Cable, Satellite, DVD machine. The booster switch is a wall mounted unit with a push-button/red or green light(on/off).
Yes...if the OTA signal is strong enough or near enough, no reason to use the booster. However...most of the time it will be needed.
FWIW, I have a "passive" switchbox. No plug-in external power. Works just fine.
Bought it from Camping World years ago.
