3.) What problems did you see with the CS 4 or the Hd-9032 for my situation? Was it just problems with 7-13 VHF, or something else?

Thanks again.
Reputable manufactures will provide the gain specs through their website.

Zero is the ideal number of splices.

The CPA-19 is intended for use in situations where strong signals may be present.

The C4 and HD-9032 lack intentional support of real channels 2 through 13. The C4 is a very good wide beam UHF antenna, with good gain (About 10 dBd, the published value is 12.2 dBi). If you want an even better 4-bay UHF antenna, the new DB4e has more gain and a lower price. The antennas we've suggested so far have comparable UHF performance as well as VHF capability.
