Hey guys, back with a question. Rule of thumb, at what length cable run do you need an amp of some sort? I got the ant751 mounted today with mixed results. I've actually lost a couple of stations over the indoor amazon thing, but the cable run is a good bit longer. Overall signal strength is about the same as the amplified indoor "leaf", except that I totally lost WHNS, WLOS and WMYI. The 751 is above the roof line, aimed at 320 degrees via compass. (WHNS is at 322 @ 26 miles).
Total cable run is now probably near 150 ft., with an FM trap and an in-line coupler being the only things in the line.
Last night when I temporarily hooked up the 751 indoors at the location of the old indoor ant., I could get WHNS and WLOS but no WMYI (it is in the opposite direction though). It was clear last night and overcast today.
Think an amp of some sort will get me back on track? At the tv I've got no signal at 100 percent. (per the tv meter)
Thanks for looking.
