Best digital amplifier for existing antenna
We have a Windgard Sensar III Antenna on our 2015 Montana. We want to upgrade it to a digital amplifier but be able to mount the new amplifier on the existing antenna pole. So what would be the best...

I hate to bust your bubble here, but I have been using a Radio Shack adjustable in-line RF amplifier (2 to 10 dBs of additional gain) since 2007.
It connects to output side of Winegard amplifier and straight to the television on RG6u coaxial cable. It gives me up to 20 dBs gain (adjustable from 12 to 20).
I used to have the Winegard III with Wingman, but converted head to Winegard Razar after headwinds bent the old head.
My typical range is 125 miles (clear day) to 150 to 200 miles at night or cloudy conditions. Over-power is rare since you can either cut gain, or move antenna off direct aim on strong transmitters.
You can check my old posts here for more information, if the archives have been straightened out since last year. ;)
