Winegard Powered Antenna Wall Plate Alternative

The wall plate has circuitry to inject DC power on the cable going to the antenna, and to separate the DC power from the antenna signal going to the TV. A generic tester may well detect a DC path through this circuitry to ground, and erroneously report it as a short circuit.
