The KT-100VG is a variable gain broadband low noise amplifier for television. It is designed to improve reception on HDTV, UHF, VHF and FM channels. The KT-100VG is designed with state of the art circuitry which combines extremely low noise and low distortion for superb reception. Because of its very low noise figure, it can give mast-mounted performance from inside the house. The KT-100VG also provides a variable gain control to give you just the right amount of signal for your system. Many amplifiers on the market today have too much gain, too much noise and way too much distortion
