Hey Rabbit.

Not to hijack this thread, but do you know of a shortcut to the Sony signal diagnostics, or do I always need to go through all 11 steps to get there, every time I switch channels?

I used one for years and only had problems w/ channels dropping from the memory, but my Sony does that, too.
It also reacted to channel changes, slower than dial up. LOL!

Easier said, than done.

Back in my early years, I was doing an antenna install here and there, but soon tired of it.

I suppose if a person just happened to have all of the necessary tools and a...

You could also add some long spreaders, on the backside of the...

While UHF antennas can p/u VHF signals, your situation w/ 2 edge, is not ideal. Dedicated antennas for different bands and/ or directions, will almost always perform better.

I would never install a UHF only antenna and expect to receive any VHF channels, but it can happen.

I have a 91XG and a DIY bowtie and both, will receive real 5 at 39.7mi LOS.

I prefer individual, dedicated components, whether it be antennas, audio gear, tools, etc.

As long as everything is working well, you might as well keep what you have.

I'm not sure I'd want to go too high w/ one of those, unless you mounted it to some sort of spreader plate.
Directly hitting a rafter, or tie beam w/ at least two of the lag bolts, would be a plus.
