a 0.5 dB GaAsFet preamp. That was in my old 3rd
floor apartment, however.

You need a spectrum analyzer to find them, however,
before using a TV. One of those $20 USA DVB-T dongles and SDR#
works fine.

If you don't mind, I have no idea what some of these items are, could you explain more....?

And on the antenna and pre-amp could you post the brand and model....?
I know what the spectrum analyzer is and does...

Did you mount the pre-amp near the antenna? I got mine 30 feet down the wire, do you
think it makes much of a difference....? About 50 feet to the first tv.... Pre-amp, and distribution
amp are 12" apart.... all the proper splitters and end caps on on taps not used.....


Thanks....
