Santa Claus brought me a new King Controls, Jack antenna to replace my old, leaky bat wing. The installation seems to be pretty straight forward, and She (Santa Claus, that is) has ordered the optional mounting plate, which will cover the old bat wing mounting holes and make for a cleaner installation.

The question I have, for anyone who is familiar with this product, is in regard to the "wall mount power injector)" a small, plate mounted electronic device that is included with the kit. Is this device necessary to the operation of the antenna, or is it an option that enhances the performance, but is not strictly necessary for operation? Anybody know?

I'm only asking because it will require a fair amount of extra work to run the power and coax to this thing, to get it mounted in a place convenient to the location of the TV. If it is necessary, or even worth the extra trouble, I will do it, but I will leave this part out if it is only going to provide marginal improvement of reception.

Thanks.
