Walking with the TV, it's mostly in and out, static and picture after about 2 houses down. I tried it with VHF and 7 seems to be the channel that goes the farthest.. Channel 6 Seems to work better closer, but a radio station interferes..

I opened the other modulator and realized that one of the 10mf 50volt caps I took out during the week, I forgot to replace, so I was actually operating the modulator without a cap that is needed.. I replaced it, no change in performance, and I also changed out the rest of the diodes and the 3 transistors, and it's still very weak.. I'll switch the mods and use the same channel and antenna and the TVs will come in crystal clear with the new one, and an unwatchable pic with the one that has problems..
