Can I add the Sensor Pro to my new antenna?

As wa8xym already said, the Winegard SensarPro replaces the non-amplified wall plate. The difficulty I had was the wall the original wall plate was mounted on was too shallow for the SensarPro so I mounted it in a plastic surface mount electrical box and mounted that to the wall. Bottom item in this pic ...

wa8xym--------Thanks for reminding me about the AMP being in the antenna. I just forgot.

A point it seems is lost on virtually everyone, almost universally being referred to as an "amplifier" or "booster" which it is NOT ... the amplifier is in the antenna head. :R As you've pointed out, anyone who wants to actually further "amplify" or "boost" signal gain should invest in a Winegard SensarPro.

Winegard wall plate is not an amplifier if it has a 12 volt outlet, it is the power supply for the amplifier in the antenna however

Now I have the Sensar Pro. Like your wall plate, which it replaces, it is the "Cable/Ant" selector (Except I have one of those elsewhere) it is the power supply for the Rooftop Antenna's buit in amp. but it does not stop there

When the antenna is selected, It seeks the STRONGEST Digital TV signal, and displays both the carrier channel (may be different from what is displayed on your TV) and the signal strength, allowing you to "Aim" more easily

It also, if you push a few buttons, displays ALL signals found and their strength

You can also set a "Channel" to peak with

You can adjust the gain of the internal booster, from a significant REDUCTION to a serious gain.

If you are aiming "Bling" (mounted where you can not see it) you can turn on a BEEPER that indicates the signal strength by sound.

Or you can turn it totally off and choose the park cable inlet.

But no outlet for your phone.

Oh, makes a big difference in what you can see too. More Channels, More Channels.

I got it from Camping world and installed the hard part, ROOF stuff yesterday. Will finish up tomorrow. I thought I had a bad connector but it was the antenna cable only the in roof cable was good as I checked it with an Ohm meter.
The bad part was that I had to climb the ladder seven times, I think, and that killed my legs------I ain't no Spring Chicken.:)
CW wanted $137.00 for it but I told the lady on the phone that I could buy it on CW's on line store for $99.00 and since I'm a member of Pres. club they let me pick it up in store for the cheaper price.
I like the new Amp. as it has a 12V outlet that my other didn't have.
I'll use that as a phone charging station.

Or...you could just buy a NEW RV! :B:B...(ok, so after reading that I realize that wasn't so helpful). Nevermind...

I'm getting a new WG with wingman to replace what I have.

If you have slack cable, just cut of the end and replace it. Use Snap-n-Seal connectors. That is what all the cable companies use.

No slack, I tried.
