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 digital amplifier to purchase. Thanks all for your help.
  • If you want to add an amplifier I recommend that you add the Sensar Pro. It's designed specifically for that antenna and it adds additional functionality to the antenna as well.
  • X2 on the Wingman + Sensar Pro box. Good for 60+ miles line-of-sight. Hills and mountains are not line-of-sight.
  • Radio and TV signals are just that signals. Companies advertising "Digital" is the same type of scam that was going around 50 years ago with companies trying to sell "color" antennas.
    Your just receiving a signal, and you're boosting it already, and too many amplifiers in the line will actually degrade your reception because the different units will often interfere with each other.
  • I'll be the dissenting vote. Best companion for the Sensar antenna is the SensarPro amp.

    Also, there's no digital TV amp, it's an RF amplifier, it doesn't care what the signal Carry's
  • Add the Wingman and replace the black power box with the Winegard Sensar Pro control box and you will have the best you can do. It will still be hit or miss unless you are close to the source.

    Not needed since it's an already amplified antenna optimized for best performance by folks actually knowing what they are doing ... save your $$$ and stop worrying.

    X2! No need for any extra amps.
