| reply to lev Re: Anyone able to pick up WBBM-2.1 now?
Location: Round Lake Beach, near Rollins and Lotus
Antenna: attic-mounted Rat Shack U-75R UHF only
Pre-Amp: Viewsonics VSA-601c 52-1,000 MHz 15dB
Coax: CommScope RG-6 appx. 30' from attic to basement & 2x drops ~40' to TVs.
Splitter: PCT Genesys II 2-Way -3.5 dB loss on each port.
The nitty-gritty...
WBBM was never even a whisper on 2 or 3, pre-transition...
Still no sign of it 0n RF 12, with a CM-D2A or a DS DTX9950
WLS was fairly consistent with occasional dropouts on RF 52 and very poor on analog 7.
I don't catch even a whiff of RF 7 DT after rescans with either box today.
WCIU... reception was mediocre at best on RF 27, pre-transition. Signal strength was 0 to 35ish with the DS and 0 to 45ish with the CM. Analog 26 could only be described as the blizzard from Hades.
I can no longer pick up RF 27 after rescans with either box.
