Sorry, I should have elaborated on the "cut down". The tower was bolted down to concrete, so they just cut the legs off flush with the cement. We had to bury the legs about 2 feet deep in the ground, and then filled in the hole with quickcrete, then 4 blocks were put around the base of the tower, and another bag of quickcrete was poured in, we also bolted the tower to roof eaves of the house with brackets. Since we are in Florida, we wanted to make sure it was secure.
Anyway, I have a Winegard Pre-amp 18 Volt (PS-1403) with PS1403 Power Injector / Inserter. I'm not sure how to determine if the FM trap is on. There are a few things on, near the digital tv converter: wifi router, roku box, tv, dvd player, vcr, surround system is only on when watching dvd's.
I forgot to say that 3 rods were broken off the antenna mast, and I tried attaching them with electrical tape & some JB weld.
