My old Strong STB died yesterday and I replaced it with a Teac brand STB and it has the option to supply a 5V 50 mA into a preamp.
I have seen this feature before but never bothered to ask what it powered until now.
I have used all sorts of 'preamps' here from one in an aluminium tube run by a 6v lantern battery, Telstar by Ferris Bros and both AC and DC powered Kingray's since I moved here more than 50 years ago but I know nothing about whatever the one is that would run on the STB's 5V output.
Some time ago I saw MTV insert a 'booster' into the balun box on a Phased array so would this be the sort of thing used ?
PS, if your looking to buy anything from Harvey Norman, check any online price first because when my Son went into the store today to buy the STB, it was almost $12 dearer but when he quoted the On Line price, thats what he paid.
There was nothing on the website about any sales or discounts applicable today I could see.

Apparently it is turned OFF by default which would be the most sensible thing to do for those genius' like me who dont need to read the instructions.
