I really don't want to introduce the hassle of a rotor. If it's a pipe dream I'll live happily with the Chicago stations.
It is not the HD9697P; it is the 7697P. If restricted to a choice between the HD7694P AND THE HD7697P, then I would go with the HD7697P. It should easily pull in the Hi-VHF and UHF stations in Rockford. If, however, I could get the Rockford stations, then I would also want other stations of similar signal strength. You have Lo-VHF stations like WLFM RF-6 and WWAZ RF-5 in this group. You like Winegard. Consider the HD7084P.
