Described ad nauseam as such on these forums but nevertheless still inaccurate no matter how many times it's repeated. :S That wall plate "booster box" as you call it has
no signal boost capability at all, it merely routes the signal from the antenna head OR from the cable feed on the side of the trailer to the television. When switched "on" it's in the antenna mode and feeds the required +/- 12 vdc to the antenna head which
does contain a signal amplifier. When the wall plate is switched "off" the 12 vdc is disabled and the signal from the cable input connector is instead routed to the television. One could of course add a signal amplifier such as the
Winegard SensarPro as I have but I don't know of any trailer manufacturer that installs a wall plate with signal boost capability as a stock item.
