Radio Shack amp & Winegard: Update w/ HDTV
A while back, someone from MN or MI said a Radio Shack antenna amp added to the amplified barwing w/ a wingman would radically improve reception. Can you tell me which amp from RS, and how it must...

Am I correct in understanding that the SensarPro wall plate replaces the power supply for the amplifier in the antenna? Is the 10db(advertised) in addition to the gain already afforded(built in to sensar) or do I get the same gain from the head and then a boost inside to overcome connection issues? (maybe my question is-what's the stock gain of the sensar antenna?)
I have a Sensar III and was thinking to add the Sensarpro and Wingman but have been contemplating changing out the entire head to the IV -it seems the design of the new head may be a slight improvement?
You are correct that the SensarPro replaces the existing wall plate power injector. And also correct that the variable gain SensarPro amp is in addition to the Sensar amp in the antenna head, but I do not know what the gain specs from the head amp are. I don't think there's any significant performance difference between the Sensar III plus Wingman and the Sensar IV, but I could be wrong about that. Maybe Bill S. will have better data on that.
When you install the SensarPro, keep in mind that the default '10' gain setting is actually '0dB' (unity) gain, rising to '10dB' as the numbers go up, and attenuating as they go down.
