KSTC (RF30) has Independent on 5-2, MeTv on 5-3, AntennaTV on 5-4 and ThisTV on 5-6. KSTP (RF35) broadcasts ABC on 5-1, a simulcast of KSTC on 5-5 and Heroes and Icons on 5-7.

Yeah it was a ghetto rig setup but it workedĪnywho to clear up some confusion 9-1 transmits from WFTC which is RF29 and has 9-1 (FOX), 9-2 (FOX Plus formerly My) and 9-3 (Movies!) RF9 KMSP transmits FOX as 9-9 along with Buzzr (9-4), Grio (9-5) and Decades (9-6) 5.1 KSTP (ABC) broadcasts on RF35 5.2 KSTC (Ind) broadcasts on RF30 and last I remember they are broadcasting at lower power right now due to an antenna issue. Here is my rabbitears report for my former location and a pic of the setup below. Since I had FOX already (via KEYC) I aimed for KSTP, KSTC etc (loved the diginets on KTSC).

If I aimed directly at the "KMSP tower" that came in better but the "other" (CCO, KSTP, etc) tower the signal was hindered. When you get that far away (55+ miles) you almost have to split the difference aiming the antenna to get everything. The other houses WFTC, KMSP, KTCA and KTCI. One houses WCCO, KSTP, KSTC, WUCW and KARE. The issue is there are two tower setups in Shoreview and they are about 3/4 of a mile apart from each other. I could get KTCA (2-1), KTCI (2-3) and WFTC (9-1) sometimes. I also had a Newark (Stellar Labs) 30-2476 set up elsewhere on my property. My VHF was aimed at KEYC (there was no KMNF at the time). With a simple VHF antenna and a generic XG91 I got WCCO (4-1), KSTP (5-1), KSTC (5-2) and WUCW (23-1) all the time. Where are you approximately? (don't have to give exact spot but like as example I lived by Radermachers Grocery Store.your minimal coordinates put you in the vicinity of the fire station). I was down by 2nd St which made it a little more difficult. Let me see if I can help since I did live in Le Sueur a couple years ago and was OTA only Le Sueur is unique for OTA as honestly location is HUGE! If the original poster (otatvwatcher) lives "up the hill" (N 4th St or higher) their reception will be better than where I lived. The cable to the samsung is also longer and older than the one to the 130, but maybe I'll try putting new connections on the coax to the 130 incase that is the culprit. I did swap these two on the splitter to make sure it was not a bad input on the splitter but nothing changed. However on the Samsung, every channel is great except 2.6. This morning on the HW130 the 11.x channels are good but everything else is complete no signal or heavy pixilation. Historically the 5.x channels have been the most difficult to receive. I'm not able to confirm the call sign of the 9.1 (just says "fox 9" where other channels say wcco etc) But I'm sure its that better signal one, I just didn't see that on the chart. Would there be any chance the Winegard HD7698P would be worse than this HBU55? If not, might be worth the chance it would improve things. It can get windy here, right next to a field. Those ones broke the mast I had up (2 or 3 sections of mast on my roof tripod) so that's why I decreased it to 1 section and one antenna. Is there a noise rating on my 7777 version? Would it be advisable to switch this 7777 to the kitztech? Better UHF sounds worth it to give it a try, but is the VHF then worse? I did try a multi antenna setup years ago with the 91xg but the VHF I had with that setup was just a decades old that came with the house.

It is the grey box 7777 in white lettering with only one input (not the new V3) and the power inserter is the PCT-MPI-12 and PCT adapter SMPS512UTRH. Yes, the preamp is at the antenna and the power down in the basement. The average tuner has an internal noise figure of about 6 dB: -91 dBm + 6 dB = -85 dBm, the minimum required signal for reception If the ambient noise level at your location is higher than -106 dBm, then the signal must be even stronger for sufficient SNR. This brings us up to -91 dBm for the signal: -106 dBm + 15 dB = -91 dBm. You can read about the theory here: Signal Strength, Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Other Related Issues in DTV Signal Strength, Signal-to-Noise and Other Related Topics The next limit is the minimum required SNR for reception of the DTV signal, which is about 15 dB. This noise level is determined by signal bandwidth the greater the bandwidth, the higher the noise floor. The most important limit is the Thermal Noise Floor, which is at -106 dBm for the 6 MHz wide DTV signal. These limits are determined by physical laws, the requirements of the ATSC 1.0 standard, and the hardware. Click to expand.There are limits to the max possible sensitivity of a tuner.
