Dec. 22, 2016, 8:56 p.m. Ed, that's exactly what I'm talking about... the lettering on the PSIP gets fuzzy/blurry/blocky on the "Select RF Channel" menu option on the Zenith. It only seems to occur on the PBS channels here... WEAO, WVIZ, and WOSU. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 22, 2016, 8:42 p.m. fwiw... the lettering on my Zenith box menu screen will sometimes fuzz / run together... actual TV pic is fine de Ed W-KY EM56
Dec. 22, 2016, 8:41 p.m. Ed, I figure it's best to not provide too much gain. The 7777 provides more than I need, so I experimented by applying attenuation pads until I began to notice the SNRs begin to drop. When I reached that point, I observed just how much attenuation I was adding. I didn't want the strong signals causing distortion and masking the weaker signals. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 22, 2016, 8:30 p.m. I run the 7777 (thru the power supply, of course) directly to the Zenith box de Ed W-KY EM56

Dec. 22, 2016, 2:19 p.m. When I tune to my local WVIZ 26 on the RF 26 channel in the menu of the Zenith, as soon as WVIZ decodes, everything gets blurry on the menu graphics. But when I tune to another local, and it decodes, the fuzziness goes away. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 22, 2016, 2:18 p.m. Chris, I use A/V cables. The fuzziness/blurriness only occurs on certain channels when I'm manually flipping through the RF channel menu on the Zenith. I notice it's usually just the PBS channels that do this. I am thinking it has something to do with how the station broadcasts. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 22, 2016, 2:04 p.m. [13:23] Andrew, nothing fuzzy here. Do you connect to TV with audio & video cables, or by coax (RF 3 or 4)? Do you ever get fuzzy on the Homerun? de dtvdxer NY FN31

Dec. 21, 2016, 11:05 p.m. Mike, your local WALV-CD really gets out nicely. I've seen it appear twice already. It was actually coming in better than WRTV on Tuesday, so 25 was probably loaded with too much CCI. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 21, 2016, 10:49 p.m. We have local LD that really gets out. When you compare SNR it looks the same as a full powered station. de mikeg IN EM69
Dec. 21, 2016, 10:01 p.m. It doesn't take much signal to get a decode. Even with 16 fewer dB, you may not even see any difference in SNRs. The 600 kW signal is basically going to penetrate bad terrain and buildings a lot better. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 21, 2016, 9:47 p.m. Basically, if a low power is 15kw, and your full power is 600kw, the low power will be 16db weaker than the full power everywhere. With CCI or terrain issues, that's may not be strong enough to decode. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Dec. 21, 2016, 9:41 p.m. The low-powered DTVs are capable of getting out just as good if your don't have to contend with CCI or terrain blockage. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 21, 2016, 9:40 p.m. [19:03] Ed, I'm guessing you don't have any terrain obstructions in the direction of Memphis. From what I've seen, the low-powers just aren't as good as reaching the low-lying areas like the full-powers are. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Dec. 21, 2016, 6:58 p.m. When the really large red tropo blobs invade, sometimes being on top of a hill isn't a good location for DX... to much QRM for anything to decode. I wasn't able to log WKRN at either Medina or Doylestown, yet it appeared at my home in the hole. I think WBGU 27 was too strong elsewhere. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 21, 2016, 6:54 p.m. Ed, speaking of WMYO 51, that seems to be a frequent visitor at my Doylestown remote site even when I can't see anything else near that distance. The lack of QRM on channel 51 helps since Dayton and Lansing both abandoned that channel. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Dec. 9, 2016, 7:18 p.m. Steve, there are still a few unexplained spikes I notice. Like I said, VHF has problems from an outside source causing high noise at random times. And I'm seeing a spike on vacant channel 44 that doesn't make sense. Every other UHF channel looks clean. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Dec. 7, 2016, 6:30 p.m. I don't take those HDHR signal strengths seriously. Often times, a decode will appear on a channel that's showing a weaker SS and not on one with a strong SS. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 7, 2016, 6:28 p.m. Andrew, I don't understand why you are getting such high readings. I'm 5 mi. from lots of RF/FM transmitters and when my setup is on, I don't get readings that high. Ch. 2 at Milford now goinig as low as 25. de indysteve IN EM69
Dec. 7, 2016, 6:25 p.m. Steve, I see signal strengths of upper 80's to as much as 100% on all my low-VHF channels on a normal day on both my autologgers. So trying to figure out what's a sub-decode is impossible. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Dec. 7, 2016, 2:44 a.m. Chris, WPWR was maxing out the signal meter on the Zenith out in Medina, but no one else between my 2 autologgers and Jeff Rostron's in Akron had it. Medina is just too good. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 7, 2016, 1:50 a.m. I'm not totally sure why Doylestown is underperforming. It's not the perfect site like Medina. It takes a lot of factors being just perfect. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 7, 2016, 1:44 a.m. Chris, the Medina spot has absolutely no obstructions, and it's almost at the top of a hill with excellent view facing west. There's no need for antenna height there. Signals are strong at ground level. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Dec. 6, 2016, 7:36 p.m. [13:43] Andrew, I am puzzled by poor performance of Doylestn. You said it gets some Columbus 24/7 @ nearly 100mi, so the site works. But nothing West of Toledo last night. WPWR was quite strong at Medina. Was D-town aimed at Chicago at that time? de dtvdxer NY FN31

Dec. 1, 2016, 7:37 p.m. ATSC 3.0 still has a lot of unknowns associated with it. It could just end up being like FM RDS... taking a strong enough signal to get the RDS to appear, meanwhile having a solidly listenable signal. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:35 p.m. [19:28] Maybe hear isn't the right word, "see" on the spectrum graph. de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:34 p.m. ATSC 3.0 is supposed to have graduated reception (LD to SD to HD). I'm optimistic. de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:34 p.m. [19:28] lol. I can hear 6 pilots at a time on many UHF channels. If they had a Morse Code ID that would be awesome. de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:30 p.m. If a yellow bar on the Zenith equals a PSIP or TSID decode in ATSC 3.0, that would be a dream. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:28 p.m. If I had an acutal log from every yellow bar that appeared on the Zenith and never decoded, my logbook would be much bigger. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:27 p.m. TSID decode is of no use for Zenith box - but on HDHR autoscanner you will get call letters (decoded from the TSID). de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:26 p.m. There's a pilot detection, sub-decode (yellow bar on Zenith), TSID decode, PSIP decode, and full video decode. That's my opinion of it. Perhaps ATSC 3.0 will change all that. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:26 p.m. Reason is TSID is sent most often and is short in length. de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:25 p.m. Indication on Zenith box is when you get "7-3" but no name - then later changes to "32-1 WXXX" - de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:24 p.m. TSID decodes much easier than rest of the PSIP info. You can watch that happen on TS Reader. de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:23 p.m. Then there's hearing a DTV pilot with no yellow bar. Sub-sub-decode? lol. Or we could just call that pilot. de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:20 p.m. I consider a sub-decode the indication of an actual DTV signal on a tuner without actually decoding. There isn't much difference between a TSID and PSIP decode. A yellow bar on the Zenith is a sub-decode IMO. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:19 p.m. Sub-decode (yellow bar), TSID decode, PSIP decode, full decode (video) ???? de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:18 p.m. I know some people consider yellow bars with no TSID a sub-decode. Maybe we need to agree on the nomenclature. de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:17 p.m. I consider sub-decodes to be where the TSID gets decoded, but not the PSIP info (virtual channels & names), nor video. de WRH ON FN03
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:16 p.m. The Stow, OH autologger is a fixed attic antenna showing sub-decodes on 7, 27, 39, and 44. 7 is WCDN-LD. 27 is WEKA-LD, 39 is WIVM-LD, and 44 is W44CR... all sub-decodes. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:13 p.m. Jim, look at the new Stow, OH autologger and Bill's new Grimsby autologger, there appears to be sub-decodes showing in the far right column with SNRs appearing without actual TSID/PSIP decode. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:13 p.m. WRH, at least something is getting out with decent mileage. Nice. de indysteve IN EM69
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:12 p.m. Jim, I can never figure out what a sub-decode is based off of those HDHR signal strengths. Channel 32 at my remote site appears to have a higher signal strength than all the rest of the empty channels, but there's nothing there. I know Bill's tuner now appears to show sub-decodes. Is that because it's the newest HDHR version? de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:10 p.m. But as you mentioned, all channels reporting properly with the exception of ch. 2. de indysteve IN EM69
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:07 p.m. Because Mike & I recently switched HDHR units without reporting new # to Trip, Mike made an Ascan change so the info would get to Rabbitears, so I can't send the tuner info directly to Rabbitears. Maybe Mike has an answer. de indysteve IN EM69
Dec. 1, 2016, 7:05 p.m. [18:03] Jim, appears to be a reporting error, maybe thru Ascan, but not sure. I switched tuners (0 manual, 1 scanning) and tuner 1 doesn't even list ch. 2. Very strange, never seen that before. de indysteve IN EM69
