Winegard Powered Antenna Wall Plate Alternative

Cross Posting with Facebook and other forums. Here's my dilemma, I have a Winegard TV Antenna Powered Wall Plat. It has been dead since delivery of our TT purchased new. I just didn't want to take it...

First were you testing just the wall plate or was it connected to the antenna?

On many testers it may well show a short especially if connected to the antenna for the antenna presents a load and the meter has not enough output to make it look like a "non-short" shall we say.

Now for an alternative... (ANd it's not a piece of junk) I recommend the Winegard Sensar Pro.. It too may well show up as a short.. but it don't blow my fuse.
