This is odd. I connected the new pre-amp today and it DID give me a great boost in signal level and quality. On average I gained about 10 to 15% in both signal level and quality with some stations upwards of 99%. I don't believe I am over-driving any of the channels but I noticed that they are all glitchier than with the cheap RCA amp, even though accordin to the levels they should be rock solid.
This may sound silly but is there a "break-in" period for these amps
Any other reason why the RCA amp would yield more stable picture when the Winegard amp gives better signal levels?
