Review on ๐Ÿ”€ Enhanced Bidirectional 4-Way 3GHz Cable Distribution Amplifier by RadioShack by Tray Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

How is it advertised? Not as much.

As I write this the product photo shows the current Radio Shack #1500473. I have received RS #1502506 MY 2011 which is a one input four output amplifier with a maximum gain of 8 dB acts. .In the description it says that the product you will receive has a gain of 10dB. In fact, both the model shown and the one I received have a maximum gain of 8dB. The title is wrong too. The item shipped is a 1GHz amp, not a 3GHz model. I think they decided people would be happy with any 4 socket model. Wrong - for my application. Since it's not worth sending back, I decided to give it a try, using just one output and the three included terminators for the unused outputs. Incorrect - two resistors are defective (resistors were not properly soldered into the 75 ohm connectors). Ok - it really was new old stock, just a small scuff on the packaging.
