Hi everyone:
I live about 2-3 miles from what we call the "Telefarm" here in Shoreview, MN. I have a DTC-100 and have both a RS bowtie and the smaller UHF-only RS yagi. I live just north of east of these towers (there are two of them). The closer of these towers transmits Fox's analog signal on Ch29 at 5KWatts, and the further one (it's actually a pair of towers, but I'll just call them one for now) transmits CBS digital on Ch32 and NBC digital on Ch35, both at 1KWatts. These two towers are only about 10 degrees off from each other in direction from my house.
My problem is that I get signficant dropouts quite often on 32, and occasionals on 35, but the signal strengths are in the 80s-90s. (It's better with the yagi, but it still drops out.) Also, my Ch29 has significant ghosting. I'm assuming that I'm getting a significant multipath component, and probably an overpowering signal from Ch29 that's causing 32 and 35 to drop out. Does this sound right?
If this is the case, I'm thinking along two lines:
1) Replace the DTC-100 with a different receiver with better electronics for handling multipath issues. Any suggestions on a receiver, or is there not one available yet?
2) Find an antennuator that works on a narrow frequency band that can reduce the input from Ch29, but not affect 32 and up. Does anyone know if such a monster if made?
This is an awesome forum. Thanks everyone!
