I have a 5000 square foot house with a Garage attic antenna. I live 40 miles from the furthest Kansas City station tower (there are 26 total stations in KC). My antenna is split to 5 different rooms in the house. I could get the nearest stations (28 miles distance to tower)prior to this amplifier but not the distant locations. I attached this just 1 foot from the antenna lead and I now get them all clear as a bell. I would suggest you stick to WInegard because they are recognized as the best. I tried a different brand which was junk.

I attached this amplifier with a 3 foot cable to a CS4 antenna mount in attic. there is a 25 foot cable run between the amplifier and the TV. The antenna averages 40 miles to the transmitter stations. The amplifier provided an average of 10% gain in signal strength for all the channels. This is not a huge gain but made the difference between some channels constantly dropping out do to weak signal and having these channels work properly with no drops or poor quality picture. It should be noted this amplifier has a variable gain control (not mentioned in the documentation) which can be manually adjusted on the unit. This is useful for adjusting the gain to avoid over amplification for strong signals.

Replaces a Radio Shack older one, I now own 2 of them… Simple to install much better picture for HD.
