Yes, there used to be a non-amplified version, but that was a long time ago, and are no longer available except from someones obsolete stock room. The wall plate is a different matter, there are several different ones that all look about the same, and do about the same function. What you need depends on what you are trying to replace, and depending on if you want to upgrade what you have, or just replace. This subject has extensive coverage on lots of threads in this forum. Several have been posted, answered very well and closed within the last week.
Johno I am sorry if I haven't read all the post since 2000 but recently there was a thread that did not answer the question about what the little CB behind the plate did. Several folks stated flatly that the plate with the switch is a power supply for the PC board in the head and it is not a booster or amplifier. My post was only intended to show that there are at least two different plates, there are plates that have a power supply and splitter and there is a plate that is a signal amplifier and looks identical to the one that is the power supply type. The Booster type is NOT for antennas that have the PCB in the head, it is a booster for none powered head signals. The amplifier type is an RA 7296 the power supply type is a RV 7042(for a white one). There are a LOT of guys that feel all the batwings have PCBs in the head and that there and no amplifiers. They are wrong. That is what I had to say and I don't buy that it has been settled. Then again I have been wrong before and will apologize if proven wrong. Just send me a couple of ULRs that lead to the question being answered.
