Winegard AP-8700 TV Antenna Pre-Amplifier Product Details

Winegard AP-8700 Chromstar 2000 TV Antenna Pre-Amplifier
This mast mounted Winegard AP-8700 Chromstar 2000 TV Antenna Pre-Amplifier takes one 75 Ohm input and has a gain of 17 dB VHF and 19 dB UHF. Features a selectable FM Trap. The Winegard AP-8700 Chromstar 2000 TV Antenna Pre-Amplifier is an efficient way to make up for the loss from long cable lengths and splitters.

The Winegard AP-8700 Chromstar 2000 TV Antenna Pre-Amplifier features 75 ohm input for convenience and easier installation. Universal housing can be used with any off-air TV antenna. Made of high impact ABS material, mast mounted for easy installation. Flexible polyethylene boot covers on 75 ohm. Zinc-plated steel hardware; all mounting hardware included.

The Winegard AP-8700 Chromstar 2000 TV Antenna Pre-Amplifier includeds a selectable FM trap that reduces FM signals (88-108 MHz) -15 dB to prevent overload, tunable FM trap reduces a 3 MHz band width by -12 dB. Both adjustable — switchable without opening the housing.

With the Winegard AP-8700 Chromstar 2000 TV Antenna Pre-Amplifier transistor burn-out is virtually eliminated with specialized circuitry featuring fast recovery diode that protects against lightning-caused pulses. Operating temperatures -40° to +140° F. 117 VAC UL and CSA approved power supply is included. (Does not include F-connectors.)

NOTE: Preamplifiers and/or amplifiers only amplify the signal your antenna receives. They cannot extend the receiving range of an antenna or help pull in signal. Also, DO NOT use the higher gain models within 35 miles of your transmitters.

Didnt work for me

Hooked it up to my Tivo Premiere using antenna, checked signal strength before and after, no change, even some degradation on a few channels. I even had to find some more cables to use to hook this up as it didn't come with everything needed. Perhaps this doesn't work with HD tv signals off the air.

Great Item But

I got a bad one straight from the factory. I called Winegard and they sent me a good part prepaid. Once I had a complete working system it has worked great for the 60 days with no problem. I would buy again.
