Several questions, but at least I can answer the QotN:
1. ja
2. don't know. I think it has a toothed nylon belt that you could strip if the motor won't turn.
3. don't know
4. I don't think an amplifier is necessary for the distance given the mast antenna, but the head unit may be designed to need one.
