Hi guys,i bought this hardware for my my outdoor antenna, but i'm confused these seems to be 2 antenna amps? or the white with the power supply is an inside power inserter? https://www.amazon.com/Winegard-LNA-.../dp/B00DQN3R9O
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

The black unit with the two F's and waterproof is the amplifier that should be placed near the feed point on the antenna. The white unit with two F's is the power inserter which is not waterproof and should be indoors. The thing that plugs into the wall is the power supply.

Thanks guys for the info,i only asked because i have seen people use only the white inserter with power supply by itself inside as an amp,{See Link bellow} i already installed it the way you said and it works great, i have the best reception i 've ever had here in Boston area 60 miles away.

There are different ways to do this but the best place to put the amplifier is at the feed point, not near the TV. There are probably some crappy TVs that don't have or have weak RF amplifier stages that could benefit from any amplifier anywhere, but it's not optimal.

Who knows what's in those things. It may or may not have another amplifier. Also the DC offset it introduces may affect the receiver stage. The coupling from the power lines could also add to signal strength. So it's hard to know definitively what's going on, from hidden amplification stages, offset effects, injection, and of course the placebo effect.Last edited by eccerr0r; 11-10-2021, 03:11 PM.

The lna-200 is meant for use with an outdoor antenna to boost the signal from the antenna to the tv, The lna-100 is meant for use with an indoor and not to be used together, The white power inserter (for the lna-200) has no amplification, it is just to insert the dc voltage onto the cable going up to the amplifier and it also blocks the dc from going into the TV's rf input.
The white LNA-100 does not supply voltage out the R.F. connector, it is a stand alone signal amplifier.
