I never used a inline amp and power inserter before for tracking planes. What would be a good inline amp and power inserter for the FA Antenna? I’m guessing I would also need a DC blocker. Any help of links from eBay or Amazon would be nice. Thanks for the help and info.
I have used the perfect vision with great success, but I am now using the more expensive HAB amp. You just can’t beat the performance and filtering of it. Personally I don’t find that price that offensive, it’s the long shipping time I hate to get to the USA.
a role of self-amalgamating tape to put around those F-connectors and amplifiers that will get rained on (there are YouTube videos showing how to use this)
extra F connectors for the down lead (they do come in different sizes for different cable diameters)
a couple of F female-female barrel connectors (useful if you tale amplifiers, power injectors out of the circuit to join the cable back up)
Ok. I have N to F adaptor. So you are saying the that DC blocker would be ok then? I would put the DC blocker right at the antenna, then put the inline amp. Then close the the USB dongle put the power inserter? I never used this stuff before. So I just want to make sure I am doing this right. Thanks.
After I had everything hooked up and running. I turned on VRS for a few hours and my 2 different colors did get bigger on the map. Today I am going to let VRS run some more. To see anything changes. But so far this is what my setup is doing. Sorry if it’s hard to see much. To the picture with my cell phone.
I realize best case usage has the amp right below the antenna, but does it totally negate the benefits if it is at the other end of the chain? I have one set-up that reaching the antenna is a little difficult, but is just long enough of a cable run that I’m sure it could use a power injector and amp.
Also, is a DC blocker necessary for the FA antenna? I thought I read somewhere that it was not, but can’t seem to find that post now.
