Create Your Own Analog Channel 3 or 4

Create Your Own Channel 3 or 4

I have four converter boxes and I have a lot of TV’s scattered all over my display room. So to connect them I would have to have a lot of cable, splitters and possibly a distribution amplifier. The alternative would be to move the converter to the television set I want to play. I have a simple solution that will cost you about $30 and all you will need is rabbit ears at the sets you want to play often.
Searching the internet on Google I found an antenna mounted amplifier that produces 30db gain made by Antennacraft. Searching again, I found a retailer Reliant Electronics and purchased the unit. Upon receipt, I connected the output
of the GE converter box to the antenna connection of the amplifier. Then using the diagram, I connected the output of the amplifier to a piece of copper wire vertically oriented. I turned on my RCA 621 set to channel 4 and using a pair of
rabbit ears picked up the signal being transmitted by the amplifier. Amazingly the
signal provided an excellent picture and sound from approximately 10 feet away.
I am going to make a permanent installation in the center of the area where my sets are displayed. Don’t think you will have an FCC problem with this low power. Try it, you might like it. Note arrow from converter box pointing in wrong direction.
