Why Rye TVs lose channels
Some TVs in Rye keep losing channels after software updates. We check the tuner settings, disable automatic channel updates where they cause trouble, and confirm the signal is solid.
Where Rye's signal comes from
Mt Dandenong: 75 km at 37° (north-east), VHF horizontal. Rosebud repeater: 4.8 km at 82°, UHF vertical. For this address we'd usually fit a long-range high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a tall, guyed mast, with a masthead amplifier only if the meter calls for one — or, where the Rosebud repeater meters cleaner, a UHF antenna mounted vertically and aimed at it.
The signal's route to Rye
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 75 km to reach Rye, passing over Carrum (41 km out), Bonbeach (43 km out), Chelsea Heights (45 km out), Dandenong (54 km out), Tremont (69 km out) and The Basin (72 km out) on the way.
The shorter path to the Rosebud repeater (4.8 km at 82°) runs over Tootgarook and Capel Sound.
When we aim a Rye antenna we start at 37° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Why coastal antennas fail early in Rye
Rye is 75 km from Mt Dandenong, with the Rosebud repeater 4.8 km away. Over water the path is usually strong, which means coastal reception problems are almost always hardware, not distance.
