USES of Proception 2 Way Power Unit

• Used in conjuction with a Masthead Amplifier to add gain to a VHF Aerial and/or a UHF aerial
• Used in Poor reception areas where the aerials need to be amplified in order to achieve a clear picture due to:
  • Long distance from the transmitter
  • Interference caused by an obstruction e.g. (hill)

ADVANTAGES of Proception 2 Way Power Unit

• Depending on the Masthead Amplifier it is used it can help achieve a 25dB gain
• Can transform a hazy picture into a clear picture
• It's Universal ie. the same power unit can be used with a range of Masthead Amplifiers and Aerials
• Can be used with power passing splitters to feed a number of rooms
• Reliable robust unit with high quality low loss f-type connections
• Can feed 2 televison without the need to use a splitter
• More effective than a using a distribution system

DISADVANTAGES of Proception 2 Way Power Unit

• Higher insertion Loss and more expensive than a 1 way power unit
• A resaonably high level of experience is required to know how and more importantly when to use a power unit and a masthead amplifer
• If used incorrectly or if there is a large amount of background interference a power unit and a Masthead amplifer can actually make matters worse - particularly in a strong reception area.
• Can be a victim of new broadcasts e.g. the new garda radio system can cause chaos with amplified aerials
