The DTV mask specifications are tighter for digital than for analog for out of channel noise. In fact, it takes a special setup to even measure it since spectrum analyzers generally don't have the dynamic range to measure it directly. Hap Griffin WZ4O VP - Engineering SCETV - Ori

The specifications for digital out of channel noise are tighter than for analog. Also, digital is generally running less power than analog, so the combination of the two should spell much LESS interference on 6m from a channel 2 digital transmitter. Hap Griffin VP - Engineering SCETV

ately. While the pass is fairly wide, the return loss frequency is very narrow and can be optimized only if monitoring the RL as well as the throughput. Hap Griffin - Original Message - From: v44kai To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2008 4:09 AM Subjec

ary 2009, all analog operation will cease and all of the digital stations will be occulying only the channels 2 through 51. Thus, eighteen 6-MHz channels will be freed up, or a total of 108 MHz. Hap Griffin WZ4O

and request your old vacated analog channel. They will have to identify themselves as your actual digital channel number...completely unrelated to their actual digital RF channel. Really smart of the FCC, eh? Hap Griffin WZ4O - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not really...you can have the tuner do a scan of the available channels and then they will show up as the "virtual" major channel...the same as the associated analog channel...along with the minor channel multicast indicators. Hap Griffin WZ4O - Original Message - From:

path signals better. Multipath is why indoor antenna reception of DTV is so touchy. However, the later generations of tuner chipsets are getting much better at multipath compensation. Hap Griffin VP-Engineering SCETV Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web, go to:
