8/2/2023 0 Comments Cable booster for rvThe Winegard Air 360 has two coax (many thanks, boyscout, for calling that out!). I hope all that made sense.I think the problem is there is a single coax that runs from the old King Jack antenna installation to the booster as the OEM King Jack had both the TV and FM signals on one cable. There are ways to combine and then split signals but require extra equipment at each end and the booster/switch will probably mess that up anyway. Just connect the extra cable connection from the antenna directly to the repurposed cable bypassing the booster/switch and the other end of the repurposed cable to the radio. If you repurpose one of the cable runs it can be done fairly easily. (IOW - switches between two inputs and sends one or other to all outputs) When the button is un-pushed it routes the signal from the cable feed to all TVs. It switches between the incoming "cable" connection and the "antenna." When the button is pushed it routes the antenna signal to all TVs and "boosts" or amplifies. We do get some radio stations with just the TV antenna cable connected, but suspect we could do better. I'm not up for feeding another run of cable from the bedroom back to the radio, so wondered if there was a way to combine both the FM and TV signals onto the existing factory cable run to the entertainment center. That has its own F-type / RG6 connector in addition to the TV antenna connector, so the antenna needs two runs of cable to take full advantage of it. In addition to its TV antenna the Winegard 360 has a separate FM antenna - the cheap wire-wound hoop antenna - mounted on its interior wall. The reason I butted in was to ask JCR GD if he knows of a way to do the opposite of a splitter combine two inputs onto a single output. It also only boosts one (or two?) of the inputs and just passes others directly through to the output. A switch (in this booster case) selects one of a number of inputs and sends it to one output. When you write "switch" do you mean "splitter"?Sorry to butt in but no, a splitter typically splits or shares an incoming signal indiscriminately across two or more outgoing ports. Definitely boosts the signal-see video below.
