Sorry, a few more rookie questions here...

1. Does the Winegard AP8700 amplifier install outside near the antenna or indoors? If outdoors, I presume it will be able to withstand the elements of a temperate climate.

2. Do I need to ground my antenna? I'm assuming most people run the coax through their home theater surge protector to prevent lightning damage since the antenna is essentially acting as a lightning rod.

3. Does anyone recommend a particular 3' tripod mount, or are they all pretty similar? I noticed links to Ronard above; their mounts look sturdy, but the site doesn't have prices.
