Although living well outside the service area for Mendip BBCA and D3&4 have always provided good reception here in North Herefordshire.
Since the change of BBCA channel to C49 I can no longer receive this multiplex, constant breakup and high error rate.
The D3&4 Mux on C54 also seems to have dropped off a bit as I am now starting to see higher error rates on this channel also.
I suspect the ERP has dropped off since the change.
I only had a 2dB margin on my analyser on BBCA and D3&4 so a little bit of margin above the cliff edge. I would say the results I am seeing point to a 2dB drop in power received at this location.
