I agree with the suggestion to get another antenna that is high-VHF and UHF compatible. You have healthy signals and line of sight. The outdoor amplified antenna is the wrong application for you. There is enough signal out there the amplification may be working against you.

Before adding any amplification in your chain, off of a new antenna's single lead, test reception into 1 TV only. Make sure signals coming off the antenna are satisfactory. Then as you add splitters and multiple feeds, you can see at what stage you may need amplification.

How long is your lead before you intend to split 4 ways? What distance do you see each lead roughly being?

This is one of the nicer radar plots I have seen out of the San Francisco area. There have been quite a few posted here that have been brutal.

You even have a shot at NBC and FOX from Monterey at magnetic 143, that would be a second dedicated antenna though.
