Ah yes, I forgot about that.

To get KARE you'll need a dedicated high VHF antenna. The two options are Antennacraft Y10-7-13 or Winegard YA1713 aimed at 11°.

Another option for KARE is to pick up K31EF on channel 31. The best antenna for that would be a 91XG aimed at 221°. Such an antenna would get between 4-8 of the LPTV stations in Frost, MN.

In either case the exact location of the antenna will make a big difference in the reliability of the reception.

If you opt for KARE on channel 11, you could add that to the UHF antenna using a UVSJ. Unfortunately, that would preclude reception of channels 10 and 12. (unless you use a rotator) An A/B switch would work better, but that would mean two preamps.

You can learn more about the LPTV translators in Frost, MN here: http://www.rabbitears.info/search.ph...earch&state=MN

The HD7698P antenna will get about half the MN/SP stations.

Have you run the TVfool reports with a higher antenna?
