One of the receivers, A, the better one BTW IMO ATM (at the moment), is
also the one that does not have the dbu listed dynamically. In fact I
could not get anything but 100%. So I decided to move it from the
balcony where it received all channels while pointed at the ESB
directly. I wanted to find out if I could get the signal indicator below
100%. So I took it off the balcony into the apartment and placed it on a
coffee table facing somewhere 30% off the ESB. No difference was
discerned. Then I took it across the apartment and placed in on the
floor near the front door. No difference. Then outside in the hall
standing up facing the wall. No difference. Then laying on the floor
face down. No difference. Then in a new location laying on the floor
face down. Lost 53.
Now it is in a closed closet near the front door where 53 shows 100 and
plays so.
I used to have to go to the back bedroom and used a cut in channel yagi
to get intermittent reception from the World Trade Center so this is a
lot better.
In fact I don't believe it. I will keep playing with it and will switch
cards.
