Okay Johno02 you are correct, I reread the thread that had me thinking about this question and RoyB from WV did clarify the question and even gave Winegard part numbers for the booster and power supply.
I was bothered with your comment regarding the Catalog getting the pictures mixed up, you mentioned that it should have been the SensarPro in the picture. Well as you stated later there are several different wall plates for several different purposes. I was only addressing the fact that there is a wall plate that powers the amplifier in the head and there was one for boosting the signal for non-amplified heads, I wasn't thinking about the SensarPro.
I apologize for not understanding what you were trying to say and sometimes I do misread things. The next time the subject comes up and I decide to reply, I will make mention of all three wall plates that use 12vdc power for signal amplification and how they differ.
I guess I am spoiled in regards to getting good TV reception, we live on a hill in the Northeast corner of Los Angeles and have line of site to the antennas on Mt. Wilson. The local governments and the stations agreed on Mt. Wilson for a lot of reasons but mostly because of the area it covers. The other day I worked on my video system in the RV and decided to check everything when I was done. My rear TV set would only pull in 35 stations. It was missing several network stations. I touched the F type connector on the cable and go fluctuation in the signal. I gently tugged on the cable and it came out of the connector. I changed from a no tools needed connector to a 3GHz connector and rescanned. With the new connector on I get 164 channels. Many of those are funky locals in analog and several that are up for lease and believe it or not, there are quite a few music stations transmitting in the range that can be picked up on the TV.
Once again my apologies and I'll try and be clearer by listing specific part numbers where appropriate.
