Bay Uhf
Will I get better reception with a 300 to 75 ohm transformer on my tv antenna?
At the present I have an outdoor 8 bay bow tie uhf TV antenna. The 75 ohm coaxial is soldered directly to the to leads–the cable wire and shield respectively. I am getting a pretty good signal now. Would a transformer make it better or worse. This is strictly for digital tv
Analog or digital doesn’t matter. Antennas only care about frequency (channel), not what’s on the channel.
Not knowing what antenna you have, it’s hard to say for sure. However, I have never seen an antenna connected like that. Likely, you do need a balun. If there is an impedance mismatch between the antenna / feed line / receiver, some of the signal will be reflected at the point of the mismatch and will never get to the receiver.
