The Phoenix Tv stations are 80 Pluse miles away , are very low signal strength and have 2 Edge path obstructions = hills and mountains.

For reception of what will be received from Phoenix.

A Big antenna is required.

Install a www.antennacraft.net , HBU55 antenna aimed at about 311 degree magnetic compass direction.
Here is how to aim antennas , www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna.

Install a , RCA TVPRAMP1R , preamplifier.

Connect to 1 Tv only , No splitters , for the Testing of reception of the Phoenix Tv stations.

----------------------

For reception of FOX Tucson.

Install a NEW matching transformer (balun) to the UHF antenna and run a NEW coax form the New matching transformer through a open door or window direct to 1 Tv.

Tilt the front of the UHF antenna up and aim at the top of the mountain where the Fox transmitter is , scan for channels , is Fox received now??

Also can aim the UHF antenna at the surrounding mountains to find a mountain that provides a strong reflected signal of the FOX transmitter.

------------

Also , Digital Tuners can develop - Digital Glitches - that are not cleared out with simple channel scans.

To clear tuner do Double Rescan.
