Winegard’s new HDA series of Distribution Amplifiers was
designed to meet the market demand for a heavy duty,
quality built, cost effective solution for the amplification and
distribution of analog/digital broadcast signals from Off-Air
and cable TV stations. Both the HDA-100 & HDA-200 are
housed in an industrial grade, weather resistant enclosure.
Each unit has an RF input, amplified RF output, and DC
power insertion jack. Each amplifier also provides a 5-42
MHz 2-way bi-pass.
The Winegard HDA-100 is a single RF input, 15dB gain,
single RF output, with a 5-42 MHz 2-way bi-pass at -2 dB
loss.
The HDA-200 has a single RF input, 24 dB gain, single RF
output, with a 5-42 MHz 2-way bi-pass at +12 dB gain. The
HDA-200 has 0-18 dB gain control and 20 dB “switchable”
FM trap to eliminate those offending FM radio stations.
These features, when combined with the 12 dB of amplified
gain for the 2 way 5-42 MHz return path make the HDA200 a superior solution for the “Techno” savvy consumer.
See reverse side for typical power installations.
