Winegard pre-amp question.
Have a SensarPro and the specs say it has a max gain of 20db. When a SensarPro is installed, what happens to the amp in the antenna head? Is it disabled and the amplication is via the SensarPro? I'm guessing only the Sensarpro is doing the amplification. It's been a few years since I installed the SensarPro...
Reason I'm wondering is that I am going to try a different antenna altogether and am wondering if the SensarPro would work for it. Normally you'd mount a pre-amp on the antenna mast near the antenna so that there is amplification before there are losses in a coax run. The RCA one below that could be used has a gain of 17 db, a bit less than the SensarPro and it needs power run to it off a 120 volt power supply.
