Rescan and now KNTV on RF 13.
Better viewing experience.
Transmitting antenna higher on tower and higher power.


SiliconDust
RF 13
Signal Strength 92%
Signal Quality 83-90%

Signal Quality still bouncy.

I need to investigate UHF channel reception.
After repack some UHF stations now have issues.

KBCW 44 was on RF 45 after repack on RF 28.

SiliconDust tuner reports lower Signal Quality for KBCW 44 RF 28.

RF 28
Signal Strength 90%
Signal Quality 67-76%
Symbol Quality 0-100%

RF 27
Signal Strength 92%
Signal Quality 85%
Symbol Quality 100%

RF 33
Signal Strength 99%
Signal Quality 90%
Symbol Quality 100%


Guess I am at digital cliff for reliable reception of KBCW 44 RF 28.
Signal Quality bouncy.
Now multi-path issues?
Impairments specific to RF28 as RF27 reception better.
KKPX-TV RF 33 also better.
Antennas Direct 91XG gain on RF 28 lower than RF 45.

Most of time recorded shows on KBCW RF28 viewable with some breakup.
Maybe take further action after exiting lockdown.
Thanks for the follow up! Sounds like you benefitted from the re-pack, I'm worried about multi path here as it seems the Chicago market has all the stations packed together
