OTA channel issue using Furrion Omni Antenna w/KeyTv

Hi Everyone, We are enjoying the new Monty and are in the process of trying to find any bugs with wiring, loose fastners, appliances, etc...

So far we really only found one issue and it seems to be outside temperature related. If we auto scan for OTA channels when the temp outside is below 85F, the booster and everything works great (60+ OTA channels!) Later in the day as the temperature rises above 85F, the OTA signal is lost and autoscan will not re-find any channels. Magically, the next morning, after the temp has dropped to about 68F, the OTA scan works again

When we hook up some rabbit ears to the cable input on the KeyTv (after the temperature issue happens) we are able to recieve most OTA channels again, so I dont believe it is a KeyTv issue...

Seems like the amplifier in the furrion rooftop antenna may be shorting out when the sun heats it up... thoughts?
