I bypassed the Preamp and did receive some acceptable signals, but not as many as with the Preamp working, so it does look like the preamp is bad. I don't think it is even two years old...I was using a CM7778. Do you have a suggestion for another one?
As for the other comment regarding reception and whether I need a preamp, my antenna is aimed directly through some 60' plus oak trees in the next yard and I don't really think that my antenna is as high as it should be.
The only other problem I have had is that it seems I lose good signal strength as soon as a high wind storm comes through and rotates the antenna as little as 2-5 degrees.
Is there another type of antenna that would suit my needs and still allow me to recieve the one low VHF (6) channel in my area?
Thanks for all of the advice.
