Repack VHF
Since the repack in my area I now have 4 stations in the high VHF band instead of just the one previously. I now have RF 7,8,9 and 11 that I "should" be able to recive.
My MClapp DIY 4 bay has been doing a fair job on one with another sporadically being watchable depending on weather and wind. Providing the weather is not too cold or windy this Sat I will add a new 751E with a USVJ. We'll see how it does. |
How did you come out with your new set up, rickbb?
BTW, what market are you in? TV Fool is still loading S.....L.....O.....W.....hope the Boss resolves the issues very soon! |
It was too cold and windy on Sat to get up on the roof for a proper install.
This will require me to remove my existing mast and antenna and rearrange it all, re-aim, tune, etc. Then had to go out of town until today. If the weather is nice enough this weekend will try again. |
Was not able to get up on the roof last Sat. Although warm enough all the snow had not melted off until Sunday afternoon.
Oh well one day soon. |

Finally got the 751 up on the roof.
Made only seemly marginal improvement, but channel 17, (RF 8), which is the one I was targeting, does seem to be more stable with less drops and pixilation. My Samsung TV shows 2 to 3 bars of signal strength with 18 to 19 SNR. So I'm declaring success. :) (I've noticed that anything less than 18 SNR is where I get pixilation and drop outs.) To recap; Had a DIY 10x9.5 Mclapp which is doing great, but weak on the VHF band. And the repack is moving more channels to VHF. So I added a 751e with a AD combiner. The DIY 4 bay is now UHF only and the 751e is VHF only. The fact that the Mclapp 4 bay received VHF channel 8 from about 60 miles away at all testifies to it's great design. |
