Easy fix!

Add an Antennacraft Y5713 Hign VHF antenna. Follow the steps below.

1) Change the mast (if needed) to allow for 24" of seperation between the High V and your 4 Bay.

2) Install a short coax/matching transformer to the High V

3) Connect the FM trap to the short jumper and add another short jumper to the output of the trap.

4) Connect a jumper (from the UHF antenna) equal to the length of the High V/FM trap combination.

5) Install a UVSJ signal combinder where the two coax meet. Connect both lines to the proper terminals on the combinder.

6) Connect a coax cable from the output of the UVSJ to the input of your 8700 pre-amplifier. Be shure that the amplifier built in FM trap is switched on.

Your VHF problem will go away.
