following advice on another forum I have fitted a variable attenuator to reduce the signal strength on the other channels from 10/10 to around 9/10 which has resulted in chan 42 dropping to around 6/10 with an increase in errors and de-crease in quality to the poing where the picture breaks up.
So, what's the answer ?????

I am seriously considering turning the aerial round 180 degrees and using Sudbury- gasp !! - as it's wideband it will work and when I briefly tried it I got a more even (but slightly lower) amplitide level across all the muxes.
I find this strange as the channels are similar and although Sudbury is further away I can amplify the signal if needed.
Couldn't do that until now as it wasn't full DSO.....but now it is.......:)

BBC RADIO2 question

As of this afternoon pretty much all of North Suffolk (well, certainly between Ipswich, Bury & Diss) has been without BBC Radio 2 (89.7FM) ....I can just about pick up 89.1 London
What's going on ?
I note that Tacolneston shows "possible weak signal" but R3 & R4 are loud & clear.

Thanks Dave, but I can't quite see the relevance to your answer.....fortunately 89.7 was back this morning.

Any idea why ??

ah, right :)...problem there is they are (respectively) very low power Tx and too far away.

What happened is the outstanding question though......
