If I've been reading correctly... anything over -6dBm overloads? So we're shooting for .... what? What's an ideal range to be in? I'm asking because I'm looking at my plots from tvfool (thanks, Andy!) and the best signal it says is reaching my antenna is -37.7 dBm. The stations get weaker from there (they get more NEGATIVE in that dBm number).
Does this mean I could amp my signal by 20dBm? I'm still learning so if I'm not using the right terms here, gimme a break.
I think you get the idea of what I'm asking.
The Grand Island based towers are only about 7 miles from me. I had assumed that any attempt to stick an amp on this thing would cause an overload.
