XG-91 / CPA-19 success story-some feedback

willpower2 · 30-Aug-2011, 5:53 PM

John-This in regard to thread from 13 August-"Multipath/Multidirectional Conundrum". http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...3e47f5e849994a
I ordered (Solid Signal) and received one XG-91 and one CPA-19 pre-amp. Installed antenna (no pre-amp yet) and pointed to 329 deg. mag. - the direction of my stronger signals. Nothing. (Screen looks like bad snowstorm). Pointed to 120 deg. (splitting the difference between 112 and 127)-the direction of my weaker signals. Still nothing.

Install CPA-19 and point back to 329. Voila! Ch. 15, 16, and 34 with sub channels all quite strong. Point antenna at 120 and Voila! again. Ch. 19, 21, 27 and sub channels all quite strong (65-80%). The unexpected but very good thing is that I'm also getting the signals from 329 at 60-70% with the XG-91 pointed at 120. I don't understand why, but I'll take it. So it seems I won't be needing a second antenna/pre-amp and A/B switch after all. Thanks for the kind advice. Thought you'd like the feedback.

Well ok , however what about , KFLA , KKFX , K28FK , KMMA , KFUL , KKDJ ???? I did not recommend the 91-XG. I gave you the best antenna advice on planet earth and you went your own way any way. I think you have sold your self short . You spent the money but do not have all the channels.

From the OP's first thread:

I am only interested in 4 channels--Ch. 15... ch. 34... ch. 19... ch. 27

If the OP is happy, I'm happy.

willpower2,

Great results. The signal from the back looks like it might be strong enough to overcome the rather steep front-to-back ratio of the 91XG. With some luck, you may avoid the future need for a rotor. The numbers are fairly close and the winter atmosphere may change your reception. In the meantime, kick back and enjoy.

JC,

It's important to listen to the "customer" and give them what they ask for, not what YOU want them to have. It's fine to give them additional details of what else is possible, but it's their choice as to what they want, not yours. If the OP is happy, perhaps it's better let it rest without comment and to just move on.

The advice hardly qualified as the best advice in the world: it was just another opinion, and opinions are like butts: everyone has one.
