Right. Frankly, I couldn't are less about interfering with a Ch.2, as long as I am clean. Front end overload of a TV set is something unavoidable in this circumstance. We have a DTV Ch2 here in Cleveland now (they are supposed to move up to UHF at the changeover). They are wreaking severe

ch 2 vs 6m 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

If you have an analog CH 2, you likely won't have a digital CH 2 unless they switch back from the DTV channel they have been assigned to their legacy channel. In my area, our channel 2 is on CH 25 for DTV. From what I understand, they will *not* be moving back to CH 2. YE! Joe M.
