If it helps, please tell to the list. Ok, I'll try this. > Can you watch channels from the low band (like 45 or 62 MHz) No problem. I have 2 of 3 channels (the 45 and 62 but there's no 55, I really don't know if some channel should be there...) > or from the high band (like 500 MHz or more) ? My Video-Recorder uses 570 and it works. It's not very good quality but it's ok. > If yes, the the bandswitching probably works, but the exact > thresholds can be picky. I tried the exact frequencies upto .1 MHz in these areas (between 140 and 160 MHz). Bye, Udo -- Udo Wolter, email: uwp@i.am, www: http://i.am/uwp !!!! LOW-TECH Page: http://hello.to/low-tech !!!!
