To answer your questions; Siglent SSA 3032X 'True' north (it's easier, the house is N-S, E-W within 1 degree which makes the job very easy ;) ). The reference to 355 degrees is due to the offset from 330 degrees necessary being the only way I can receive the Toronto stations (RF 17-20) due to the 'swamping' effect from RF 16 even with the additional 20db attenuation from my traps. Doing so drops the offending station level over 10db making the difference. Quote:

See the attachment. Tuned for 15/16 and 31/32 . |
Tower Guy;
Yes, it can get VERY expensive depending on how many cavities you want. Horizontal 'stacking' antennas is out of the question. Too much wind resistance and additional weight on the rotor. And a $400 Amateur rotor with a brake is out also. ;) |

Thank you for your reply

It looks like the slope on the high side of 16 was adjusted to be as steep as possible to protect 17. http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...1&d=1613002844 |
Possible, depending on conditions.
Yes, to protect RF 17 as much as possible which is not easy to achieve. Correction on CHCH. That isn't available here thanks to the FCC and the CRTC. :mad: That should be WBNF, which is 40 or so miles closer. |

On this forum, I make images that will show in a post no wider than 750 pixels. |
Is this ATSC 3.0 compatable?
|
Post #4 and #7 have been extensively updated.
|
Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see any information in post 4 or 7 about ATSC 3.0 compatibility. Is the avent x ATSC 3.0 compatible?
|
You weren't missing a thing. That post was a general announcement, nothing to do with your question.
I don't have an answer to it since when I had this device , there were no ATSC 3 stations on the air in my markets, nor do I have any ATSC 3 tuners even if they were. ;) |

Likely, you know this, put it here for others benefit: A DTV station produces splatter outside the normal ~6 MHz bandwith in both upper and lower adjacent channels. This splatter appears as noise to a receiver that is trying to demodulate the adjacent channel signal. If the combination of noise (environmental, thermal, other interference plus the adjacent splatter) reduces the signal-to-noise ratio to less than about 15 dB then signal cannot be decoded. In the above case, no amount of frequency rejection of the undesired channel can recover the desired signal. The FCC sets limits on the splatter: From: ATSC Recommended Practice: Transmission Measurement and Compliance for Digital Television Document A/64B, 26 May 2008 http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...1&d=1615315891 As shown in the image the splatter begins at about 36 dB below the flat portion of the DTV channel. That adjacent splatter is caused by intermodulation distortion (IMD) in the transmitter chain. Pretty sure many stations perform somewhat better that that shown in the graph, but it is a tough problem for transmitter chain designers. ------------------------ In addition, adjacent splatter can be generated in the TV receiving circuits. Mainly occurs when signal is very strong. . |
Avant X experience. Better late than never I guess.

So I am about 39 miles north of Chicago on the Lake Michigan coastline. I'm actually below the lake Chicago Bluff which is geological history when Lake Michigan was Lake Chicago after the last ice age. This just means I'm below a ridge which is approximately on Sheridan Road so I lose about 20 ft of elevation. I also have some large oak trees directly in the path of Chicago. Not much I can do about that other than pay a tree trimmer with a high tower and gouge out a tunnel and that would do nothing about my neighbor's trees but it would improve things, but I digress. I am also 48 to 49 miles south of Milwaukee with what I would consider a fairly clear path with some trees well over 100 ft distant. I'm not so sure that those trees aren't a problem either because it's really messing with my ganging projects.. In the following pictures I have tried vertical stacking and horizontal ganging with these and other antennas. I don't know if it's the Tri-boom design or what. I may come back here and do a post just on this project if there's any interest of course. https://forum.tvfool.com/attachment....1&d=1690897748 Damn, I forgot how hard it is to upload pictures on this forum. Since I have to go to work I'll come back but that's the first question answered. This post is not finished. |
