What masthead amplifier do I need?
What amplifier should I use for my Caravan or RV? Due to the type of terrain you are likely to be situated in, we would suggest a Masthead amplifier with around 15dB to 25dB of gain. This will also need to be wideband as you will come across either VHF or UHF frequency bands.
How do you make a TV amplifier?

How do I know if I need a coax amplifier?

Do TV amplifiers need power?
Masthead amplifiers are connected to a power supply through an uninterrupted coaxial cable. Most domestic tv masthead amps require a 12V DC, or a 5V DC power supply to work, while non-domestic settings, like a block of flats and other communal systems, may best work with an 18V or 24V DC power supply.
