There's another factor. If I understand correctly the ITV/4 mux from
both Reigate and CP are affected ? I note that they are on UHF Chs 21
and 22 respectively.


My guess would therefore be that the frequency response of the wideband
aerial is rolling off at the bottom of the UHF TV band. You should
really investigate using a Group A aerial for CP.

As they always do. They also tend to have a polar response diagram that
looks like a starfish. on ch21.

OK folks, just to complete the loop, and before going back up the
chimney etc., I've tried a variable gain masthead preamp and it makes
no difference, which tells me that the DAT45 just isn't getting the
signal i need down the bottom at 21/22.

So, unless anyone thinks otherwise, it's over to a Goup A and stick
with Palace. What i WOULD appreciate is any recommendations as to
aerial to go for.

Many thanks!

If you can mount the aerial completely in the clear with nothing anywhere
near it go for the biggest Antiference XG you fancy. Otherwise, use the good
old Antiference TC18A.

TCX18A? Searching on "Antiference" plus "TCX18" turns up some retailers.
