Probable Causes and Solutions Found For Poor Reception

摘要

This month I want to report an unusual DTV reception problem that I recently experienced. I did not write this up until I learned from another retired Tektronix engineer that he could not receive one of our local DTV signals with a rooftop antenna. He asked me about probable causes and I told him of my experience. He reported that by replacing his balun he now receives all local stations. With a score of two out of two, perhaps others may have this problem, too, and have not even suspected the cause. Whoever thinks about baluns.
