Does it need external power source? hi, can anyone answer me whether this antenna needs to be plugged into a power source for use?

Current for the amp (located on antenna) is carried by the cable. The connector for this can be located anywhere over the length of the cable run. In my case, the antenna is in the attic and the current connection & power outlet for the transformer is located in the basement. Hope this helps.

Mine worked with power from HDMI port. I don't believe external power is required.

No, it does not need to be plugged into your computer. It does work off wireless internet access. If your work has WiFi then the radio should work just fine.

I haven't found it necessary to use a external antenna I do believe Standard Horizon has one available if you need one.

No this is a classic no frills old school phone. No external power source is needed. Perfect for power outages as long as the phone lines are not down somewhere on you're grid.

Where I live I was able to just connect to the cable and that was it. No additional power. Some reviews said they needed an amplifier others said an amp made reception worse. I guess it all depends on your location.

The antenna is powered by the rotator box and its power supply. If either burned out the powered antenna will not work. You can try unplugging it and waiting a minute and then plug back in.

There is a "pigtail antenna" plug in back. However, I've not needed an antenna. Great reception.

It is not powered, it is a passive antenna. Just plug it in and position it where you get the best reception for your application. Good luck

If you have the right equipment for the antenna to go into, then I don't see why not. However I didn't see a spot to directly plug one in if that was your question.

The camera does need a power source. I did not use the power adapter because I connect the camera to my existing video surveillance system. I hope this answers your question.

Having installed it (at home) and connected it to use (fine) - I have to admit that I encountered no battery box or literature that suggested it was anything but a passive antenna. Please double check this, with the company! (am an EE with a lot of radio exp. from DC to daylight ... but saw nothing that suggested it was an active antenna).

No external power source required. I added the required AA batteries in order to keep the call memory intact. However, if you want this as a wall phone, you are wasting your money. The receiver does not stay in the cradle.............

Not sure what the question really means, if you could further explain, but I'll give it a shot. If what you mean is if the cable is usable outdoors, mine runs through the wall and out side, and the side of the house to get to the antenna. So yes it works for external use. Hope this is helpful!

If you mount the antenna outside, yes, you will need to ground it. Look up grounding kits. If you mount it inside an attic, like I did, no grounding necessary.

no external power source, it does plug in and run from any 120 volt outlet. hope this helps
