[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1003060, member: 176704"] Don't blame you! The first one of mine got fairly warm even without the line amp inserted. Can't see how I would have overloaded the I/P because the actual antenna signal would only be a few microvolts, and even with 20dB of amplification, that would only be a hundred millivolts or so at most (1V = 60dbV on 1uV IIRC). Add me to that list of who wants to know more! PS: just done a quick continuity check on the DC inserter with a DMM - no sign of a short between the DC insertion port and the port for the receiver, which is as it should be because the case label shows there to an isolating capacitor between the two, whereas I do have continuity between the DC insertion port and the port connected to the cable from the antenna (and thus the line amp near the antenna). Also, the label shows that the unit should be capable of inserting up to 65V, and so a 15V insertion should not cause a problem to that capacitor [/QUOTE]
