It's up, now need help troubleshooting preamp
Well, it's finally up. I went with the Winegard 7084 antenna with an 8700 preamp. All new RG-6, grounding block, etc. It was a comedy of errors to get it up.
Things were working well, but now I think I have a short. I lost several channels (UHF) and noticed that the power injector LED was dim. Last night I broke out the multimeter. I'm getting voltage from the wall transformer, and I've ruled out shorts in the coax inside of the house. So my next step is to get up on the roof and check for shorts. If everything on the preamp side checks out, what do I check for on the antenna? Would I check for a short between the phasing lines and the booms?
Thanks
