Post any info on the Apex DT502 and any difference from the DT250. A previous thread was wiped out by the forum database crash.

I wonder if anyone would swap my DT502 for their Channel Master.

Just curious, why do you want the CM over the 502? I ended up getting a CM7000 is why I'm curious.
I haven't even checked mine out yet, so when I do if I hate it, FAIK I may want to swap with you.

I'm pretty far away from the broadcasting towers (and have lots of tall buildings in my area) and can't get many channels without quite a few dropouts. The Channel Master will display a channel with signal strength as low as 10-20%, there will be lots of drop outs, but at least I can sort of watch it. The DT502 will not show the channel unless the signal strength is higher and there are fewer drop outs. The DT502's signal quality standards are a bit high for my location.

I get a kick out of all of these posts that list that mostly useless number their tuners signal indicator is showing. If it is, in reality, a actual BER, or just some arbitrary number, it borders on useless. I have seen the most wildiest, inconsistant numbers from tuners I have had experiance with, either TV's or STB's (including CECB's) where it will show a 100 on a somewhat weak signal and a same or similar number on different channels that in reality have far different signal quality levels (strength and/or BER).

What also amazes me are the number of Americans that are too lazy and/or cheap to erect a outdoor antenna to augment their primary TV source (CATV or satellite) as a backup and/or to receive what isn't available from those two sources.

I am amazed at how terrible the DT502 is with regard to the need to carefully align the remote to the unit in order to get it to respond.
A quick inspection of the remote shows a possible cause -- the LED is shrouded deeply inside the unit.

Doc Sief ,
Was it the SA or the 502 that was causing the problem? Since the 502 requires you to rescan everytime you change the antenna direction, there doesn't seem to be an advantage to having a "Smart-Antenna" attached to it.
Does anyone know what the NTIA has to say about "Channel Addition" requirements for CECB's?

I admit to trimming the top lip off of my CM-7000 remotes so the can be used while still laying on the table though...

.....Don't some remotes have two LEDs, one for distance (directive) and one for dispersion? (maybe I'm thinking of older technology).
