Hmm, well, surely though, they must have filters as we do hear for
troublesome frequencies?

I found the longer version of that document on the antenas ditect
website.

http://www.antennasdirect.com/pdf/ge...structions.pdf

There are quite a few odd things in there but this one caught my eye.

"4. Avoid using an antenna mounted amplifier in urban areas"

It's an American site. What is special about urban areas in the US that
would make mast-head amps unwise?

What's special is that in the US the amps are likely to cover
everything from 40MHz to 900MHz, so they will be affected by nearby
CB, police, ambulance, aeronautical, walkie-talkies, etc.

Filters can only do so much

Brian,
I've taken this from their web site, as mentioned by Graham. It is
basically the same as the image that was posted. Part of the
installation instructions for a domestic aerial.



WARNING
Installing antennas on windy days can be dangerous. Because of the
antenna surface, even slight winds create strong forces. Be prepared to
safely handle these forces at unexpected moments. Do not attempt to
assemble, move or mount antenna on windy days or serious, even fatal
accidents may occur. Antennas Direct Inc. is not responsible or liable
for damage or injury resulting from antenna installations.

WARNING
Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure
are very susceptible
to wind damage. This damage can be very serious or even life
threatening. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that
the installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight,
wind & ice) and properly sealed against leaks. Antennas Direct Inc. will
not accept liability for any damage caused by an antenna system due to
the many unknown variable applications.

WARNING
Do not attempt to install if drunk, pregnant or both.
Do not eat antenna.
Do not throw antenna at spouse.

In the UK, many 40-to-860MHz TV masthead amplifiers were made/sold. They
were invariably in totally unscreened plastic housings, with
saddle-clamps for the cable. I recall a certain Labgear (of
Belling-Lee) unit which caused several radio amateurs a lot of grief (or
rather, the radio amateurs caused the TV viewers a lot of grief) when
literally ANY amateur frequency was used. It's fortunate that, these
days, the manufacturers are more aware of the possibility of
interference problems, and use metal housings and filtering.

Yes they do. A popular one is a stop filter for frequencies in the FM
band, since they have local FM stations all over the place. Of course
this is becoming a problem in the UK. See
http://www.wrightsaerials.tv/referen...terference.pdf

But as Charles so sagely remarks, filters can only do so much.

Bill

PS you make sage remarks when you know your onions...

Indeed so, and because signal strengths tend to be higher in urban
areas than rural areas, because the transmitter is so much nearer.

Any clue as to which president the label was referring -- maybe
Chirac or Sarkozy?
