"Ron D." <ron.dozier@gmail.com>: Sep 23 01:58PM -0700 masthead amplifiers generally need a power injector which might have coax in coax out and a port for power. The amp is on the mast.   Other amplifiers may just need a power source and are not remotely mounted.   I'm currently using a channel master CM-7777 at the mast with an 18db amp in the attic with an attenuator, so 0-18db. i think the CM-7777 is defective. For distribution to about 12 locations I was using a 30-45db amplifier until it went south. Currently distributing the signal to two locations.

It's hard for them to believe their English is actually a bit odd as they only socialise with other Indians.   Indian English is a recognised variety of English. Not even definitely a dialect, as it has its own grammar in some cases, which can be argued to make it a distinct language (as e.g. Schweizerdeutsch is a distinct language, not merely a dialect of German).   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_English>   CH

I didn't know that the >latter term is reserved for indoor units elsewhere.   In cellular service, it's called a TMA (tower mounted amplifier): <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_Mounted_Amplifier>   If the downlink is via RF instead of coaxial cable, it might be considered an "active repeater": <https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Active+Repeater> There is also a "passive repeater" which functions in the same manner using two antennas, but lacks a powered amplifier. If the downlink coax cable or RF path operates on a different channel than the receive signal, it's a "TV translator".           -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

For distribution to about 12 locations I was using a 30-45db amplifier until it went south. Currently distributing the signal to two locations.   Masthead amps make good targets for lightning hits. I've seen a few where every semiconductor in the amp was fried.   The CM-7778 has 16dB gain: <https://www.channelmaster.com/TV_Antenna_Preamplifier_p/cm-7778v3.htm> while the CM-7777 has 26dB gain: <https://www.channelmaster.com/TV_Antenna_Preamplifier_p/cm-7777v3.htm> Also see the CM-7777HD (adjustable gain) and the CM-7778HD (distribution amp).   This might help: "CM-7777, CM-7778 Titan 2 & CM-7778HD detailed troubleshooting." <https://support.channelmaster.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002548994-CM-7777-CM-7778-Titan-2-CM-7778HD-detailed-troubleshooting-CM7777-CM7778->   -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

Tricks you into thinking they have left them behind.   Conversations with them are fun but always fairly short. You soon run into a language /cultural dead end. Big shame.     ..... Phil
