i need to change the amplifier on mine as well, so if you beat me to it, let
me know if you have any words of wisdom in regards to doing the swap. the
sales person at antennaworld told me that 9 years is about the expected life
of the amplifier. i also remember reading about bypassing the amp, but can't
remember where i saw it.

regards,
paul
