Where Yarragon South's TV signal comes from
From Yarragon South, Mt Tassie is 46 km away at 113° (east-south-east), broadcasting UHF with horizontal polarisation. Mt Dandenong is 78 km away at 305° (north-west), on VHF. The Yarragon South repeater is 1.9 km away on UHF with vertical polarisation. Different sites need different antennas — VHF and UHF, horizontal and vertical — so the choice is made with a meter, not by copying the house next door.

Questions from Yarragon South customers
Do you install LTE/5G filters?
Yes. Near mobile towers, 4G/5G signals can overload TV amplifiers. A filter fixes it when the meter shows that is the cause.
Do you service all of Yarragon South?
Yes — town blocks, newer estates and surrounding rural properties, 7 days a week.
Has my transmitter changed?
Channel frequencies have changed over the years. A rescan helps; if the antenna was aimed for an old arrangement, it may need re-aiming too.
