I researched the CM 0747 some more. Yep, it's the amp, but my wiring hookups never included the preamp. Go figure, maybe that's why I became a mechanical engr. - duh. But, it is interesting that the amp without preamp helps me get UHF, without it I get nothing. I'm going to start over tomorrow with a new antenna, pointed to the VHF channel, without amp. If this doesn't pickup the VHF signals I'll turnoff the inverters. Any other test cases I should do? Any explanation for why the amp alone helped UHF, what issues this could create, and should I try a pre-amp/amp if I continue to have issues?
