The UHF reception good enough for time being. I like the Antennas Direct 91XG.

Now I have VHF reception issues

I'm using an AntennaCraft Y10713 on a separate saw horse to receive KNTV (NBC) RF 12. During a sunset bad reception event Symbol Quailty drops to zero. Signal Quality 46.
Signal Strength 78.

`pwd`/hdhomerun_config 10519452 get /tuner1/debug

tun: ch=auto:12 lock=8vsb:207000000 ss=78 snq=46 seq=0 dbg=-5700/-8984
dev: bps=19885888 resync=0 overflow=0
ts: bps=19885888 te=1976751 miss=87041 crc=0
net: pps=0 err=0 stop=0


During the above event RF 7 comes in fine. I'm guessing RF 12 interference.

Here is RF 12 good daytime readings from SiliconDust HDTC-2US. The Y10713 aimed
towards San Bruno. During good reception Y10713 has good directivity. Best signal
strength pointing towards San Bruno Mountain (transmitter location).

Virtual Channel none
Frequency 207.000 MHz
Program Number 3
Modulation Lock 8vsb
Signal Strength 80%
Signal Quality 54%
Symbol Quality 100%


During the RF 12 bad reception event changing aim of Y10713 did not improve Signal/Symbol Quailty.

I will need a longer cable to try different roof locations for the Y10713.

I have a second Y10713 on order from Solid Signal
That way I have option to experiment with stacking to address possible multipath interference. I don't need additional gain.
