If you can receive that channel when not using the Jointenna, you'd likely do best to invest in a better signal combiner instead of stacking antennas to try an make up for an inefficient combiner.
You do realize you're right on the on the back side of a 2000' chunk of rock, don't you? Very, very little signal will actually make it down to your elevation and what does will be seriously compromised. |
Um yeah I know where I live thanks, sorry don't mean to seem like an ass but KPAX comes in with a signal level of 70 on my tv's signal meter because I point one of my antenna's directly at that mountain. The signal is very reliable year round, I installed the first antennacraft last year around this time and if even came in strong during blizzards. KUFM seems to "move" as much as 5 degree's depending on the time of year, and I was told on a another thread to try a second antenna for a stronger signal. I was also told I would need a channel master jointenna because the antennas are not pointed in the exact same direction most of the time. When I do get PBS the signal is about 40 but when it's at 40 it comes in perfect and never breaks up, if it drops to say 37-38 the picture will occasionally break up. I have read the article you posted but I don't exactly understand it hence my posting here asking if someone can explain it in way I can understand seeing as I'm not an engineer. As for a better signal combiner I'm open to suggestions for one that will handle two VHF antennas. Since the one I have now say's an insertion loss of 2.5 for channel 11. Oh and before someone recommends an A/B switch I tried this but with said switch I can't record PBS, IE I could just hook it directly to the tv and the other line to the tivo and get a good picture without the ability to record PBS.
