    Antenna amplifier has 12 volts out but no 12 volts at antenna

    Hello, I have the King basic antenna and the amplifier/injector in the bedroom of my 2018 Reflection 230RL. Previously the original amplifier/injector had several cracked solder joints. I reheated and it worked fine and powered the antenna.

    Several months pass and after one trip I discovered I have no power again at the antenna. No power coming out of amplifier/injector so I replaced with a new Winegard. I now have power coming out of amplifier/injector, but still no power at the antenna. I pulled the antenna head and tested the coax and no power.

    Do you think there are any additional connections to check? As I recall there is one connection in the base of the antenna that looks to be impossible to get to without ripping off the antenna. I do not have the signal meter model so it is just a one-to-one connection. Does anyone know if there are any other spliters or connections from the amplifier/injector to the antenna or is it a straight line? I am not sure what to do next, any suggestions? At this point I am ready to get an external setup or go satellite. Thank you.
