Winegard pre-amp question.

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.

The SensarPro sends +/- 12 vdc to whatever head it's connected to, just as does the standard non-amplified Winegard wall plate. FWIW, a few years ago I bought a Radio Shack preamp to use in the house with a spare antenna head I have so we could use the television from the trailer in the master bedroom over the winter. I tried connecting it every which way, using the original Winegard wall plate, not using the wall plate, but found the RS preamp made no improvement at all in reception so I ended up just using the wall plate. The SensarPro by this time was installed in the trailer and I couldn't be bothered pulling it out so I never did have the opportunity to include it in the mix to see if it would do any better in that application. Also FWIW, many seem to think the more amplification the better but such is not the case and is the reason the SensarPro is designed to not just amplify the signal but also attenuate stronger ones. Since Winegard seems to think +/- 10 db is sufficient I'd question whether using a preamp with significantly more gain set would achieve the results you're looking for.
