I need some input on a good amplifier for an application that has long drops and numerious connectors. This application has a 1K.2 which is fed by a 300, TREES, TREES, and picks up 110, 119 and 129 pretty well but by the time we get to the recievers the signal is pretty low. Winter weather is not helping. What amplifiers have you had good experience with?? Thanks, john

It is all RG6 with a mixture of copper and copper clad but has 8 or so F connectors with 2 barrel connectors
Still need to know the length of the cable. If the cable is too long an amplifier will help with the problem. If the problem isn't the cable length, but the trees themselves, then an amplifier will not help. If you amplify a crap signal all you will get is crap.
The reason you were asked to post strengths per transponder is there are certain transponders that will drop off in signal quality quicker than others if the problem is the cable length, or bad barrels in the lines. Please post approximate cable length from the LNB to the receivers, receiver model types, and signal strengths, preferably from a single tuner receiver, for at least a few even and odd transponders on each satellite.
