Channel Master 4228 installed in attic and pointed in direction of Memphis southeast of my home.
No issues with Memphis stations
Jonesboro stations Ch 8.1 KAIT & Ch 19.1 KTEJ are southwest of my home and to the side of the 4228. Signals were always above 70% but experienced signal loss quite often. It was weird when a electrical device was switched on/off the signal would drop out on the Jonesboro stations but didn't effect the Memphis stations.
I thought maybe if another antenna was connected in parallel with the 4228 and pointed in direction of Jonesboro stations would solve problems.
Installed a Winegard HD8800 in attic today.
1st signal test.
Ch 19.1 KTEJ -- 96-98% Ch 8.1 KAIT -- 88-90%
I wanted to increase the signal strength of 8.1 so adjusted antenna direction
2nd signal test
Ch 19.1 -- 85-89 % Ch 8.1 -- Steady 92-93 %
Switching of electrical devices no longer causes a signal loss with the Jonesboro stations YEAH !!
Ch 19.1 still has occasional glitches and signal loss. The frequency has decreased dramatically. I noticed a glitch when the UPS Truck passed by my home. I leave on dead end road and very light residential traffic. 1st major road to cross path between by home and Jonesboro stations is 3 miles west.
The small difference of direction between 8.1 262° and 19.1 259° require a rotor?
