Antronix FRA1-1510/AC Single Port Forward/Return Signal Amplifier

I have a roof antenna and a 50' run of RG-6 4 shielded cable (a must. Don't use the 59 garbage). This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024R4B5C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I get few channels without the Antronix amplifier. I plug this thing in and I get about 15 channels along with the other sub channels getting me over 50 channels! I live 20-40 miles from the broadcast stations that I get and one is in the opposite direction of where the antenna is pointing and I still get it. I guess this is also a good endorsement for the Yagi antenna. I'm surprised this small thing works at all....especially for the low VHF stations that I get like ch2 and ch4 which is about 30 miles away. I may try a lager Channel Master antenna and see how that works out. Maybe a 45 mile CM-5016. Note: This thing gets hot, so I unplug it when I'm done watching the TV. I bought mine in 2017 and used to leave it plugged in all the time, so I suspect it's very reliable. I have used other amps, even the Channel Master and nothing was nearly as good as this one. Buy it!

I used this in conjunction with the Antronix CMC2008U 8-Way Splitter. I was having a lot of issues with pixelation on quite a few of my channels. This solved the problem right off the bat. I did have an issue with it over powering my cable modem but I used a 6db attenuator to solve that issue. It also supports the return channel for high speed cable internet.

Great service from seller. I asked a question by email and got a reply with exactly what I wanted to know, the next day. I received the item in 2 days, in new & unopened condition. It includes good instructions. The Power Inserter (120V AC Input, 18V DC, 0.5A output) is included. I bought this as a spare for the one installed by my cable provider, so I can help myself to quick replacement, if needed. If you're doing a new install, you'll need a coaxial cable to connect the Power Inserter to the FRA1-1510 signal amp. I don't know why it's called a power inserter. It's essentially a wall transformer or power "brick" as some would call it. In any case, this looks like a nice product from a great seller.

Due to cable wiring in my house, my cable modem always has high upstream power issues. Had a Motorola BDA-K1-RA to mitigate it for more than 10 years which died recently. Had to find a replacement and finally found this one. It simply worked as intended. Now both downstream and upstream power are within the optimal range.

The Fra1-1510 By Antronix did very well in my home for 4 months till it failed. I have 2 cable modems so with a 3 way unbalanced splitter at the side of the house and a 2 way splitter in my office left me no head room to add a tv in my office. After installing the Fra1-1510 By Antronix i was able to put in a 6way splitter in my office that had 11db of loss which was need because the amp was to strong on the uplink side. I ran it this way for 4 months till i started noticing upload packet loss. Took out the amp and the 6way splitter and put back in the 2 way splitter in my office and everything is fine again minus a tv for my office . I can only assume the 110 degree days must of done something to the amp but i have no way to verify.

I am not sure, I have had a mixed result with this item. I may still have other issues so the jury is still out . TJ

after trying many brands this on is the only one that worked. I'm really happy with it and it didn't cost an arm and leg. The charter cable company spent two weeks and over 6 tech.s trying to solve the weak signal problem, so after they left I purchased one of these amplifiers and it worked right away. I get HD signals stronger than ever before. I purchased 2 more for my other tv's, replaced the RCA amplifiers and also got a stronger signal and works great. I'm now ready for football.
