Not sure if this adds much to this conversation but thought I would mention it anyways.

Yes -
I think that supports the idea that you have a signal quality issue, not a signal strength issue.
A UHF antenna will not be deaf to VHF, but because it's not designed to be resonant at those frequencies, it will be significantly less sensitive then at its target frequencies. If you have lots of signal in the air, the lower sensitivity won't matter, and the VHF signal will be above the threshold for reception.
