Your CM antenna should pick up both VHF and UHF stations. |
Last night was nice and crisp.
Clear skies. But, the last week to 10 days have been like this all the time I wouldn't care too much about WTAE if I could start getting WWCP again |
Tim, thank you for your patience
Are all baluns created equal? could have one for when we work on the antennas, just in case. Every thing I know about anything I learned on YouTube. Tyler the Antenna Man said that an LTE filter may help and , also, a digital converter box. Any thoughts on this? I'm going to work on your suggestions first |

I have cellular/LTE signals where TV channels 39 and 40 used to be, but they are not strong enough to cause interference. http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...8&d=1601164744 Video to show cellular activity at right end of scan: downloads and then will play https://www.dropbox.com/s/i1nt5l3wqs...34-50.mp4?dl=0 downloads but you have to open I use VLC player https://www.dropbox.com/s/i1nt5l3wqs...34-50.mp4?dl=1 Tyler has a lot of good ideas. One of the converter boxes that he uses is the Mediasonic HW-150PVR. It has a signal quality indicator that is very useful. Signal dropout is at about 39 to 40%: http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...7&d=1600712295 It also is able to add a channel after scan so that you don't have to rescan if you change antennas or antenna direction. A lot of TVs can't do that. http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...9&d=1601168533 |
Thanks, Rabbit 73 for your info.

It didn't work too well until he shortened the leads to 2-1/2" as I had suggested in my balun tests. http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...2&d=1601253188 New Channel Master Balun https://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=16297 |
Thanks for that info
I just remembered I had a coax tester Wonder if that will tell me anything useful? |

I think mine just tests for continuity
|
Finally got a chance to get back to this
I only messed with the DB8E, so far. Did a continuity test on all the cables and all read "Open" Broke all outside connections and applied dielectric grease. Found one connection was a little loose. Checked all connections for tightness. Had a Mediasonic tuner to see if that might help. Didn't, so I removed it and am sending back. Was able to get WTAE RF 27 Virtual 4 badly pixelated. I haven't had any luck getting WWCP 8 even though I moved the CM for that. Both my preamps are in the basement. Could they be bad? The splitter amplifier is brand new Any suggestions are appreciated Thanks for your patience |

Correction to the above.
The pre amps are outside on the antennas. Must be the power for them in the basement They are antennas direct Pa 18 pre amps |
