The i have uniden pc78ltw 40. can i run a 3 foot coax lead from the unit to the coax that come with the antenna??

Yes you can you will need a connector to join the two cables together. Keep in mind the further your run the coax the more you will lose some of the signal power. Make sure you set your SWR's when you get everything installed.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

The power injector may very well RUIN your signal, it absolutely will NOT improve it. The 10 volts it injects into the coax will be turned into heat by the splitter or the 300ohm to 75ohm adapter... It's possible the wall adapter will burn out by being run shorted-out like that, if you do so for a long period of time.

You should ground it. There is a grounding kit available from the manufacturer, but you can do it yourself. Another option is moving the antenna down. Mine is only 7 feet off the ground and it works perfectly. You may not need to have it up so high. Also consider an inline coax surge protector.

It's been working well for me for the last two months. You should try for about 8 feet of separation between antennas and try to get both leads from antenna to coupler the same length.

With a diploe at 50 feet up about 5 miles on high 7 watts. The higher the antenna the better. Also get a power supply that grounds the negative to avoid a hum noise. (I only run mine on low so I don't get a letter of non compliance)

i think it was shorter than that. However, you can use an adaptor and connect to a longer coax cable. pts

It depends on your particular setup. Yes, having extra lengths of coax is a must, even if very short. The manufacturer presumably assumes you will already have this available or will just buy what you need, since there is so much variation in setup and cable needs.

Coax cable does not come with the antenna. You should order GE outdoor quality quad shielded COAX with ground wire.

I used the existing coax cables and installed the antenna in the same spot the satellite was. This should work fine; however, I get no channels with my antenna.

Apologies. Your question is more technical than I can answer. I just hooked the thing up and it worked (well). I run nothing more on the coax in my house than the antenna signal. I should add add that the signal strength has degraded somewhat (fewer channels) since I installed the amplifier in January, but the decrease in performance could be attributable to something other than the amp. Will investigate before winter.

You can not just hook it up and expect it to work you have to use a bias port system to put dc on the coax to run the lmb on the dish. You need to search google for someone that has done it already. I have not done it yet and do not know all the problems you will have. Good luck.

Distance is dictated by length of feed line (coax) you have. I think antenna came with 30 feet of RG174 coax. The shorter coax run the better for less signal loss. Most installations should not need more than 50 feet max distance between antenna and receiver.

A 69 Dollar discone off Amazon will do nicely. Get it up 40 feet and you're set. Use a 50 foot run of RG8X coax or if you have money RG213. Don't forget the correct coax ends to match the radio and the antenna. Do NOT use adapters!

I can't be of much assistance. Our system uses Wilson's uni-directional external mounted on a 30-foot mast. From there it connects, via coaxial cable to an amplifier inside the home and then to an internal antenna.

You shouldn't have any problem.Just install the software that is provided. remember that this unit recieves old analog signal, you need a digital inverter box with your antenna.

If you are buying a length of coax the PL 259 ends should be installed,but check to be sure.Hope this helps.
