Is the Winegard YA-1713 your only antenna?
I ran a test to ensure the tuner on the plasma tv was working during which I used a UHF antenna to receive the channels that are LOS (33.x, 42.1 and 46.x). Since these are LOS I figured this was a good way to test the tv tuner. Now when I try to get 13.1 there's the antenna (YA-1713), coax, plasma tv and nothing else.

Be sure that you have set the tuner to scan for ATSC channels
Good idea and to confirm I just ran another test. During the scan it specifically states "Now scanning for digital channels". The end result is still no KCPQ-DT or KCTS-DT.

The specs for the plasma can be found here

I'd start with a different TV set
I'm looking for a used but newer (>=2010) HDTV on craigslist. I suppose it's possible the VHF tuner on my present plasma isn't the best but I think it more likely the analysis provided by TV Fool needs a calibration. That I've yet to see a roof top antenna on the hundreds of homes in this area would seem to confirm this.

I'll update this thread when I have something to comment on.

Thanks all
