I bought a new Winegard amplified gs2200 ota antenna as my older one was damaged in a recent storm. Can I simply replace and be done with it? Or do I need to incorporate image_01 in the line somewhere? It’s set up as seen in image_02 with the power source in image_03. Set up is a Hopper 3 w/ wireless joey. Thanks in advance!

It looks like you want to replace Image 3 with Image 1. The power voltages are different and if you leave image 3 in, as is, you will probably blow the amplifier.
I looked at the PDF manual for that antenna and it doesn't show what you are showing. The parts box should have the antenna, power injector, and AC transformer. I don't see anything about what you are showing us in the PDF. I am unsure of what that is. You might try calling Winegard (help@winegard.com, 800-288-8094) to inquire about it and where it actually goes.
Your PDF looks to be for the 12 VDC powered amp that I currently have set up, which is in my pictures. This new antenna had an insert in the box (image_01) which would mean I need to change the power supply as "dishdude" explained. Does that mean image_01 is now taking place of the Winegard ps-1503 (image_02)?
Got it up and receiving over 60 channels! Thanks for all the input.
