You're correct, the UHF and High-VHF performance of your existing antennas matches or exceeds those I've suggested. The critical difference is that each of the suggested antennas includes support for Low-VHF. Hopefully your current system will continue to provide reliable reception. If not, the antennas I've mentioned are appropriate solutions when mounted outside in the clear.

Hi again GUM

Just thought I'd let you your responses did give me some added food for thought and while, as I wrote previously, I tested the splitter I was using with my preamp power injector and found no voltage going to the TV, after reading your warnings about possible damage to my tuner I purchased voltage block couplers for both coaxials to my two TVs. I'm attaching a pic of my power injector set up to hopefully make clearer what I did. This is an RCA injector which has a built in coaxial with blocker for connection to the TV but I think mine was malfunctioning, it either had a short in the signal flow or it was leaking voltage into the TV because it make interference on whatever TV it was attached to per instructions. But it did seem to deliver appropriate power to the preamp so I redirected the TV signal around the injector with a splitter.

My reception on all channels is awesome now and I think my TVs are safe as well.
