Masthead Amps and Power Supplies

championc · 2010-08-09 15:40:30

Hi all, Is there any minimum distance that should be left between a Masthead Amp and a Power Supply ? I have the MA in the attic and it then suited me to also put the PSU in the attic too. So I then have the cable downstairs going straight into my kit. C

No the power supply can be anywhere after the masthead amp, distance is irrelevant, its acctually common pratice to have the P/S in the attic/crawl space.

As he said.
there should, however be a minimum of 1 metre between aerial and amp to reduce the chance of signal reflecting on the feeder.
