Okay, I did that and put it in my original post.
Depending on the actual conditions at your exact location, the Antennacraft Y10713 may be a better choice for receiving real channels 7 through 13.
I will take a look at that one, If it costs less I will go with it. I only need or want a few channels that are VHF. That is what channels 7-13 are correct?
It's very doubtful that two amplifiers are need. An Antennas Direct 'Juice' or an RCA TVPRAMP1R would be my choice... One or the other, not both. The LAN-200 lacks shielding which makes it prone to acting as a poor quality antenna, which can open you to symptoms of multipath interference.
I really like that Juice amplifier and I am going to switch that out. The other amp is used to my understanding is to draw the signal through on long cable runs not to lose quality? Please correct me if I am wrong but I thought there was a pre-amp that helps get a stronger signal from the towers. Then the other one to help not lose signal through the cable run?
The CC-7870 has no band separation filters. It's nothing more than a splitter labeled for reversed signal flow. The UHF/VHF inputs of the RCA preamp or a stand-alone UHF/VHF combiner will provide far better isolation between the two antennas.
Which one would you recommend to use? I was thinking with the two antennas I was getting to combine the UHF signals from the two plus add the VHF signal from the one antenna if this makes sense to you?
Three feet of distance between the antennas is minimum. It's prudent to test reception before drilling holes and cutting wire to length. |
I will do this for sure.... I wish I could afford a signal detection equipment so I don't have to run inside to see the tv.
I do want to pull in as many channels as I can without spending too much. I would figure the signal maps will dictate the equipment I should buy as well?
Thanks so much for your help so far!
