TV signals:

Strongest TV signal is WUNI at -62.4 dBm = -13.6 dBmV

max input of 7777 = 15 dBmV

-13.6 dBmV + ant gain 13.7 dBd = 0.1 dBmV, no preamp overload from WUNI

-62.4 dBm + ant gain 13.7 dBd + preamp gain 30 dB = -18.7 dBm, no tuner overload


FM signals:

strongest FM signal WORC = -26.7 dBm

-26.7 dBm + ant gain ~6 dB = -20.7 dBm = 28.1 dBmV, preamp overload

turn on 7777 FM filter
28.1 dBmV - 15 dB = 13.1 dBmV, preamp probably OK, no guarantee

WORC freq 98.9 MHz

External FM filters getting hard to find; no more Radio Shack, or MCM, except maybe on Amazon or Ebay

Antennas Direct has a few left; when they are gone, no replacement

Insertion loss for TV signals probably about 1 dB.

A HLSJ can also be used as an FM filter:
