VERY Disappointing results. Before I get into that, you are correct about the amp. Pulled nosecap off and here's what is there Other end w/coax connection Signal reception is much worse. Totally surprised me. Using a new 50' RG-6 and only get TWO channels, 24 and 7. Tried adding some elevation above trees in distance to no avail. Here's 2 pics to give an idea of what I did. second try w/more up angle first try I'm close to being pissed. I get better reception with the indoor Winegard non-amp flatwave. Geez. Even the original location through trees is better. Damn
