I tried to find a spec sheet for the combiner, I can't find it anywhere.
I couldn't find it either. Did they give you an instruction sheet?

I went by this:
Quote:
Switchable DC passthrough is provided from output to UHF input, allowing a remotely powered signal amplifier to be used with the UHF antenna
Quote:
•DC passthrough capacity: 12VDC, 100mA max
Quote:
•Insertion loss: 1.5dB
too high

I wrote a detailed long response to your first post, something happened, I lost it all. Internet was down for an hour or so
I hate it when that happens to me. Sometimes I will select all, copy, and paste the text box into WordPad before posting, so I don't have to do it all over.

I will have to get rid of the Clearstream4V antenna in order to make room on the pole. That antenna runs another TV. I don't want to use splitters. I find I lose the weaker stations when the cable is split..
You can use a distribution amp to make up for the split loss, but you shouldn't need it with a preamp.
