What to do if the antenna indicator is unlit on my Winegard Carryout G2+ power inserter?

  Christina WolfeJul 27, 2025
  If the antenna indicator is unlit on your Winegard Antenna power inserter, it indicates no communication between the power inserter and the Carryout G2+ antenna. Ensure the included 25’ coaxial cable is properly connected between the power inserter’s ANTENNA port and the Carryout G2+ PRIMARY port. Also, make sure the power button on the power inserter is pushed to the ON position. If the issue persists, try replacing the 25’ coaxial cable with a different RG6 coaxial cable.

  A receiver indicator that is unlit on a Winegard Antenna power inserter suggests no communication between the receiver and the power inserter. Verify that the 3’ coaxial cable connecting the receiver and the power inserter’s RECEIVER port is properly connected. For DIRECTV users, ensure the receiver is compatible and configured correctly. If the cable is connected and the receiver is properly configured, try a different piece of RG6 coaxial cable.

Why does my Winegard Carryout G2+ Antenna continuously search without acquiring satellites?

  Joseph AdkinsAug 11, 2025
  Your Winegard Antenna might continuously search without acquiring satellites due to obstructions blocking the satellite signal. Ensure the southern sky is clear of trees, buildings, large signs, or overpasses. Also, rain, snow, or excessive dew on the dome can interrupt the signal. Brush off any snow or dew. If heavy rain or snowfall is blocking the signal, wait until the weather clears.

  A faintly lit or flickering antenna indicator on the power inserter indicates intermittent communication between the power inserter and the Carryout G2+. Ensure the included 25’ cable is properly connected between the power inserter ANTENNA port and the Carryout G2+ PRIMARY port. If problems persist, replace the 25’ coaxial cable with a different RG6 coaxial cable.
