Wingard 360 power boost

[dljs1941]

I have a 2020 Bullet 273BHS which came with a Wingard 360 antenna. I see many posts regarding a power boost button associated with the antenna. I’ve looked at every coax box faceplate (only two inside the RV) and only find a typical coax faceplate…no power boost button. I’ve had other TTs that have such a button. Did factory forget to install one or place it where no one can find it?
BTW - my reception is typically lousy regardless of CG.

If you have KeyTV then it handles the boost.

One thing you can do is to check all the cable connections, the factory is bad about not tightening them and it will degrade reception.

Also for future knowledge... The OTA roof mounted antenna has NOP BOOST BUTTON... The button... on non KeyTV equipped RVs simply turns on 12 volts DC up to the OTA antenna preamp...

Same with KeyTV module... if LED is blue it "should" be sending 12 volts DC to OTA roof antenna preamp

Without the preamplifier inside the OTA roof antenna powered up the antenna is basically useless....

Folks - Thanks for the information. It turns out that the TT has Key TV which is located inside the front passenger storage area. Really didn't know what Key TV was other than a place to hook up CG cable service. Live and learn...
