After my last post, I tried again to program channels and this time I got WBAL (11) and WJZ (13) both coming in pretty good, not perfect. I got WBOC (CBS & Fox on 21) coming in OK, but not as good as previously (this should be my strongest station). I got WMPT (22) and WCPB (28) both pretty good (28 better than before, 22 about the same). WMDT (47) about the same or maybe worse and same with WDPB (44).
So in summary, I was getting 11 and 13 better with the y5, but most of the UHF were worse or the same after aiming the CV2 straight at the UHF stations?
This morning I first tried disconnecting the CV2 completely and got 11 and 13 pretty strong and WBOC (21) better than before unplugging. Got no other UHF.
Then I tried w/ only the CV2 plugged in and got all the UHF channels at pretty much full strength and a not-really-watchable WMAR 38.
Then I tried w/ only the y5 plugged in and 11 and 13 came in OK (not really any better than before) and the UHF's were hit and miss.
Finally, I just plugged it all back the way it was before and I guess I'll try it for a few days and see if I can live with it. I'm concerned though what it'll be like when the trees leaf out.
Also, the "Pico Macom" UVSJ I ordered showed up doesn't say PICO anywhere on it. It says, "Blonder Tongue" ZUVSJ No. 1978A ??? So I'm wondering what I really got?
The antennas are mounted pretty close to each other, and I also have a Cellphone Mate Yagi CM230W antenna mounted in there too, about 5" under the y5, and the CV2 about a foot under that and off to the side about another foot.
I'm just disappointed that the UHF signals don't seem to be coming in stronger. The y5 seems to be doing it's job.
