Ok, so I ended up putting both antennas up on the high roof. The CV2 slightly lower and pointing at about 170 and the Y5 up a couple of feet and pointing (small elements toward the front) at about 320. They both have less than a 6' run to the combiner, and from there about 18" to the preamp, then the preamp sends the signal about 50' to the TV. Got it all hooked up and took down the ladder just as it was getting dark. Went inside and did a channel search and now I don't get ANY VHF channels??? The UHF seem to be coming in strong. The CV2 has it's own combiner I think, since it's got both a VHF and UHF antenna together. Could having the signal run through 2 combiners somehow mess up the signal coming from just the y5? Tomorrow I'll climb back up and check to make sure I've got everything hooked up correctly, and I guess I'll try taking the CV2 out of the picture all together and see what happens. Only other thing I can think is if the combiner is messed up somehow?
Also, I used a Channel Master 3075 (CM0089) matching transformer to connect the y5, which is what Solid Signal said was the correct one - is it?
