Here's the email response I just sent out this morning to you:

Yeah, KNAZ, which operates as a de facto translator for KPNX, is going to be a PITA. It usually is, since they're not co-located with any of the other station's transmitters in the area.

KNAZ does operate a channel 6 translator from Mingus Mtn (K06AE), but it utilizes a highly directional transmit antenna that is designed to send almost zero signal (.0001 x 500 watts) due east, which is where you happen to reside. I doubt there's enough signal for you to take advantage of. A large FM antenna might work as a test.

The Camp Verde TV Club, about 16 miles south of you, appears to translate KPNX's signal but in analog only, if it's even on the air (K25MK).

There are several ways to approach the issue of getting the KNAZ channel 22 signal from Morman Mountain which, unfortunately for you, is behind mountains for your location.

1. Install a directional antenna aimed at Mormon Mtn and hope the signals from the translators on Mingus Mountain to your west come in off the back okay. They should, they're relatively strong. An antenna like the 91XG, DB8e or the DB4e should work.

2. An engineered solution. Use the high-gain UHF antenna (DB8e recommended) and a channel 22 bandpass filter/combiner with this antenna focused solely on KNAZ's weak signal. The signal would get combined with the signals from a small UHF/VHF antenna such as our ClearStream 2V that is aimed at Mingus Mtn.

The channel 22 bandpass filter/combiner would be a custom device and would likely cost between $125 and $200 (Model AC7 from www.tinlee.com for example.)
