Again thank you for the help. I found this locally "Channel Master CM 7777 Titan2 VHF/UHF Pre amplifier with Power Supply" I will try it with my current setup to see if i have any difference in reception. The HD7698P is almost 200$ from amazon.ca. Thesource.ca carries channel master products can you recommend one from those listed

Sorry i am not trying to ignore the recommendations but getting something locally will help with return if needed.
Thanks again for all your help GroundUrMast
