I’m going to have to make the best of what I have now, and maybe try a chimney mount next summer to get things raised up a bit.
Also did some playing around today.
I put the old Yagi back in the attic, and spun it around to 120*SE. Then I used a 3 way splitter to tie in the Yagi and the main line to our primary TV.
Channel 19 Before:
SS = 45-50 SNR = 21-25
Channel 19 After:
SS = 65 SNR = 24-25
All other channels remained the same. I was not expecting that.
Then I tried running the old Yagi through another PCT-MA2-4P, and then to the splitter.
Results:
SS = 70-75 SNR = 25-26
All other channels remained the same for signal strength, but the SNR’s dropped just a hair. The amplifier obviously induced some noise into the system.
I removed the PCT-MA2-4P, and am now just running the splitter. I will try this for a while and see what happens. I suspect once the roof accumulates some snow, things will change drastically again. Not a big deal, as the attic is accessible, and things are easy to change back.
