AMATEUR TV SYSTEMS

You can use the In-Line Amplifier with 2.4 GHz, amateur TV (ATV) systems, as shown in “In- stallation C.”

If the power supply provided with your ATV antenna provides a center-positive power supply, it can be used to power the In-Line Amplifier as well; you do not need the amplifier’s power injec- tor.

Caution: The In-Line Amplifier cannot be used if the ATV power supply is center negative.

In this case only, you should remove the DC block from the amplifier and connect the amplifier directly to the F-type connector on the ATV antenna down converter. Remove the plastic tube that holds the amplifier and DC block together and unscrew the two pieces.

If the ATV antenna is used with more than one TV receiver, you must follow all connection pro- cedures for “One Antenna/Two Receiver Systems” (Page 7–9), except that the DC block be- tween the antenna and the amplifier will be removed, as described above.
