I haven't see were to turn it on which is why I'm asking.

Oh btw, is there a switch to move from OTA to cable?

Thanks and have a great 4th of July
Yes, the amplifier is in the batwing head unit. Gritz has told you how to find the switch for the power injection to power the amp.

Yes, it is a directional antenna. I use the Antenna Point App on my phone to decide where to point it at each campsite.

The basic batwing antenna is good for VHF stations (OG 2-13). Not so good for UHF stations which a lot of the stations have moved to since the digital signal conversion. It you don't have it, purchase the Winegard Wingman UHF antenna bolt-on. It really helps with those UHF stations.
