I should have changed my headline to read "UHF AND H-VHF."
Interesting to note that in colder weather, KABC and KCAL both begin dropping signals. (Even with the RCA preamp)
KABC is the lowest channel frequency out here at 174~180Mhz and KCAL at 186~192Mhz. KTTV and KCOP are good though...
Well, so much for testing for a couple days....we had a MAJOR wind storm Sunday and the pole loosened and spun a few circles, breaking the coax from the RCA input port...
On a note about signal overload; I did remove the dist. amp in the attic, but I lost some signal on some stations. (pixelation)
A few weeks ago I did a couple antenna direct to one TV test. (No preamp, splitters, etc..)
The channels were good during the day, but again, some would drop in the evening, hence I reinstalled the CM7777.
I opened up the CM7777 tonight, but cannot see anything obvious, except for some sloppy solder work...but I need to check the opposite side of the board with a mag glass because my eyes are bad...
Thanks to all. This is great information!
