There was also an ARRL article floating around a while back.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Winegard TV pre-amps

2006-05-30 Thread Joe
It's RV season again here in Connecticut and I'm expecting a few of these to 
roll into the area on their way to the casinos near our sites.  The tough part 
is that they only tend to stay a short time before they run out of money and 
leave.  Hard to find.

The problem seems to be worse when the TV is not connected to the antenna.  
Some RVers stow their TV when they travel, but the antenna may still be 
connected to the power source.  The combination of an unterminated coax and the 
high gain of the antenna makes a good feedback loop for oscillation to occur.

[Repeater-Builder] Winegard TV pre-amps

2006-05-29 Thread JOHN MACKEY
It seems to me that this group has had discussions before about Winegard TV
pre-amps causing wide-band RF noise.  Does anyone know if there is a good
model of TV pre-amp that works for the job intended but does not cause the RF
noise?

thanks
