And, since I'm feeling rebellious and anti establishment today, Here's something somebody might try which would be quite illegal.
Take the digital to analog converter box, which presumably has been set up with power and an antenna. Connect its R.F. output, which would be set to either chanel 3 or 4 which ever is blank, and connect it to a T.V. preamp of the type which is intended to improve analog T.V. reception. since these preamps are designed to amplify a large number of signals over a fairly wide frequency band, what will probably happen when you put in only a single signal from the converter box is that you'll get a pretty strong signal on chanel 3 or 4. Connect the output of this preamp to a set of appropriately selected rabit ears, with a 75 to 300 ohm transformer, and voilas, you might just have a house wide signal for portable radios on chanel 3 or 4. It is not unlikely the power you'll get out of such a lash up will exceed that allowable for unlicensed transmitters, so it's on your head if you try it. Of course you could also use a so-called "personal F.M. transmitter hooked to the line audio outputs of the digital converter to get nearly the same results on the F.M. band and it'd be legal. But I bet the illegal trick might just produce better coverage. Don't tell the FCC I told you to do this when you get caught, which is probably pretty unlikely but----- Miss Anne Thrope AKA Foul
