Please correct me if I am wrong because I have been learning so much so fast 
but the Hyperlink's Outdoor amplifiers with Automatic Gain Control (AGC) 
automatically adjust to provide a constant output power regardless of cable 
length. They are remote-powered and mast-mounted near the antenna. Now let me 
preface this by "That is what they said" so I was under the understanding that 
I could run some, lets say RG-58 and this amp would take care of my cable loss. 
Please advise


Thanks 
Wes
