LOL. Thanks for your help |
I have the DB 8E at the recommendation of Antennas Direct, nascarken.
I suppose they looked at my location and what stations I wanted to get. It receives a wide range. I get signals from Pittsburgh and a Johnstown station, which is, I think, 50 degrees off from the Pittsburgh stations. It seems the reception issue is solved, for now. If the UVSJ solves the conflict between the signals. I appreciate all your input throughout this thread. If I ever wanted to get another antenna, I would look at the 91xg. But, at 69, I hope what I have outlasts me. |

Thanks for that, Rabbit 73.
As soon as I get some help this evening to drop the mast to retrieve mine, I'll try it out. Won't have to wait for my UVSJs to get here. If anyone has a need for one, I have 5 UVSJs coming. I'll give them away |
Don't give them all away, keep a few as spares.
Good luck. |
At least one.
They had a $10 minimum order and they were only $2.49 |

----- Edit: Never mind, I reread a few times and I understand now. He had the Antennas Direct version of a UVSJ on hand all along, just not installed in his system. Great! Hopefully he can install that and get things working properly. |
When I installed the CM, originally I planned to combine it with the DB but my cables were too short so it's just hanging on the mast.
Unless there is a good reason not to do it, I'm thinking of putting the second PA 18 preamp up to replace the Winegard while I have it on the ground. |

Sounds good.
Thanks |
Preliminary results.
It appears we have success. I am cautiously optimistic, anyhow. Dropped my mast so I could retrieve my combiner, installed the other Pa 18 preamp on the VHF. Put the combiner on the TV side of the power inserters. Left the distribution amp connected. Scanned 42 stations. Several aren't watchable and shouldn't even show up due to distance and direction. Have all my VHF and UHF stations that are available. Once again, I really appreciate all the generous, patient help so many of you gave. Thank you. I'll follow up in a day or two to verify it stuck |

I have it and will give it a try today.
I was so excited that everything worked that I stopped. It may be my imagination, but several stations that came in when one or the other antennas was disconnected seem weak. It shouldn't be related to installing the PA 18 preamp on the vhf because these are uhf stations. It could be atmospheric, too |

Couple stations took a while to load or show.
When I went to the channel menu those stations were "weak" The signal strength is either "good", "normal" or "weak" Right now, everything is watchable |

Attention Nascarken !!!!!!

And, you called Rabbit a liar. You didn't believe the photo he posted from the newspaper article was actually AD Tech. It takes a lot to get under his skin and you did it! I never saw where you apologized to him. I'm going to submit a complaint about your trolling. (Again) Everybody's tired of hearing about your set up. Everybody has a different need for different antennas and preamps. Just because your's works great for your situation doesn't mean everybody needs a Johanssen amp and 2 "Winegrud" 8200U's 2 91XGs on a 150 foot Tower. Get it? Not everybody needs your setup.! Now, go away. Stop trolling. |

Blackstone, now that you've had a few days to observe, how are things working out for you?
