The output power of the transmitters will increse quite a bit when the analogue channels are turned off but if for instace you have what we have at the moment where Oxford TX is still transmitting analogue and Sandy isnt the output power of two multiplexes from sandy are still at reduced power, you may find that your reciver cant receive all the channels untill the other TX has switched off its analogue transmitters.

 

 

Well blow me down; that”s answered a question I had about the changeover, thanks Rob!

 

I knew that the transmitter power output was supposed to be boosted once all the analogue channels had been switched off. I”m fairly close to Sandy Heath and the reception is worse after the big switchover than before. I couldn”t square that with the supposed power increase; not surprising really since it apparently hasn”t happened yet. Anybody know when it is likely to happen?

 

Regards,
