Thanks for the additional information.

The only advantage of the CM7777 is that it has more gain, but it is more sensitive to overload. I was thinking of the best equipment for the weakest signals, which would indicate an amp with more gain and an antenna with more gain.

Since we don't really know how strong the signals are in the apartment, I suggest some tests in stages to see what is needed.

First try your LNA-200 with the Clearstream CSM-1. If that works, buy one for her.

If that doesn't bring in WTIC, upgrade the antenna to an Antennas Direct DB4e with the LNA-200.

The DB4e is quite directional, so you must try different locations and aim in the apartment.

If you still don't get WTIC, substitute a CM7777 for the LNA-200 as a last resort.
