I was curious how much worse the OTA signal is without the provided amplifier for the stealth antenna so I disconnected it. I am close to the transmission towers (7 miles) and have no tall trees or buildings around. With the amplifier the OTA signal was ~46 and the quality was ~80. Without the amplifier the power is ~45 and the quality is still ~80. I guess I am not losing anything without it. Is it normal or maybe my amplifier is dead? I have two separate cables entering the house and I don't use the diplexer module. Is it possible that for a relatively strong signal it cannot get any better, which makes the amplifier obsolete? Any comments?
