I assumed that when I pressed the "Off/On" button and the light came on that I had 12VDC. Is that not correct?
Well... Yes, and no.
The light coming on means you have 12 volt at the switch which is a multi function device.. But it is NOT the booster. as someone else said the booster is in the antenna head up above the roof.
You need to make sure you have 12 volts at the antenna end of the coax (BE CAREFUL DO NOT SHORT IT OR you may have fun finding the fuse.
Also you need to make sure the antenna is facing the correct direction.
If you need help with that.. IF you have a "Wingman" it points toward the transmitters.. if not, Imagine looking straight ahead, Arms extended out to your side... The antenna is like you.. It "Faces straight ahead" with the arms extended to the side.
(NOTE Without the wingman it can fact either towards, or away from, the stations Just not off to the side)
