Question 1

I bought 2 of these and they worked great for about 6 months and now both of them are cutting in and out, I watched the light on the antenna and yo

Accepted Answer

The amplifier is located at the antenna and is fed by power along the coax.  Either the power supply or the amp can go bad.  It's possible the amp is heat sensitive and might work better in the winter.  If you take the amp apart, it has a balun (the little loops of wire around the donut shaped object).  The balun is needed to convert unbalanced coax to balanced yagi elements.  You could bypass the rest of the amp downstream from the balun and link the balun outputs directly to the coax.  Not responsible for the consequences of your trying this.  Then use an amp downstairs at the tv.  It won't give as good a result, because the amp should be as close as possible to the antenna.  The bottom line is that if this type of antenna doesn't work reliably, it's probably time to get a different brand.  I think the company had some literature in the box requesting that you contact them directly with questions and issues, so you might want to correspond with them about the problem.  Good luck.

Question 2

What is the size Of the assembled antenna?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure of exact dim's but it is about 3 feet by 2 feet , it works as well if not better than my old smaller antenna getting 30% more channels

Question 3

Why wont the preamplifier light come on

Accepted Answer

It should light up when everything is hooked up and plugged into a working outlet. When I hooked mine up the light didn't come on either , but I checked the outside GFI outlet plug and had to reset the plug , once the plug was working the light came on.

Question 4

Local channels here are 4 - 6 -10 - 28 and 34 are they in the frequency range for reception by this antenna?

Accepted Answer

more than likely, I'd be more concerned with how far away is the transmitting towers away from you and if they are transmitting all your local channels. I'm 70 miles away from Daytona (63 channels) , 90 miles from Orlando (70 channels ) , 110 miles to Tampa (35 channels ) and 60 miles from Gainesville (48 channels ) . Orlando & Daytona are the 2 I can get ABC, NBC , CBS , and FOX. Gainesville I miss out CBS , Tampa I miss out CBS and FOX
