I should have re-read reply #4 from ADTech a few more times!!
35' of coax and a 2-port splitter should amount to about 6 dB of insertion loss. If that is causing your loss of performance in the bedroom, there are other issues involved.

After removing the TVPRAMP1R from the system, I decided to look closer at it! The first hint that it might be the problem was the black mold on the unused "F" connector. When I opened it up I had more surprises! The ground plane where the tab rest also showed corrosion EG bad connections. Then I looked at the foil side of the board, the corrosion at a number of places was unbelievable! The coating was lifted and the traces were green with the white fuzz between contact areas on the components. I soda blasted both sides of the board (sorry no pix) The board came out like brand new. The soda just removed the loose coating along with the corrosion and did not damage or remove the good portion. I then sprayed the board with "HILL" lubricant (a professional equivalent to WD-40) it never dries and displaces water as well.
So the bottom line "There are other issues as well" was right on track!!! Thanks ADTech
I now have 24 viewable stations that I originally had downstairs on both sets with zero drop outs!
Thanks to all in helping resolve this problem.
