I have a Radio Shack antenna (model VU-190XR) and I live in Southern California (Orange County). I mounted the antenna to my chimney a year ago. At the time I mounted it, I had reception problems on channels 2 and 4. I tried everything to fix it and I was not able to, so I paid an antenna professional to come out and adjust it. When he adjusted it every channel looked great. Everything was fine for the past year, until three days ago. I am now having problems with is channel 13, which is so out of tune I cannot watch it. The picture and sound is absolutely terrible. The reception on channel 13 looks like it is not tuned in properly. It reminds me of a T.V. with rabbit ears that need to be adjusted. I checked the antenna for physical damage and everything looks fine. All the elements are extended out properly and nothing appears to have changed. I don't think the issue with channel 13 is interference, because the characteristics of the picture do not look like interference. When I paid the antenna professional to come out last year to adjust channels 2 and 4, he told me he "fine tuned" the antenna. I remember him telling me he had some kind of reception meter he attached to the antenna to make the adjustment. Do you have any suggestions how I can make the adjustment myself to get channel 13 to come in clear again? Also, about the reception meter, I checked Radio Shack online to see if they have something like that and I did not find anything. Do you know where I could buy some kind of reception meter? I appreciate any suggestions.
