Someone commented on the rocking of the RV.. There are two things, Depending on just how the RV rocks you get Dopler effect which can cause an apparent frequency shift, the higher the frequency the greater the shift.
or it can change the aim
Or you may have a connection that's loose.. Many RVers have a few screws loose.. Your choic.. no, I am talking metal, not mental screws.
I had to re-do some connectors, still have some others needing it.
and even with AFD, the consumer can override,, But AUTO works.
Something folks do not understand about Digital.. I used to get a good signal but now I don't.
Well when they went Digital many stations (All of them) reduced their power, what used to be a hundred thousand watts may well now be just 10 thousand.
(I know and plan to visit a Radio staiton in Tennessee... 1.4 GIGAWATTS.. that's right folks 1million 400 thousand MILLION watts. That means they suck over 3,000 KWH every hour just for the transmitter finals, Now there is the rest of the transmitters, the studio, the Air Conditioning (Even in coldest Feburary they need A/C) Tower lights and so on.. How'd you like their electric bill?

Well I have a radio and antenna.. If I plug in a Microphone, pushing 100 watts Single Side Band into the antenna... I can talk to about half the USA most days with odd days of better communications.
If I plug in the computer... Turn it down to around 30-40 watts (less than half the power) and start typing..... I've talked to Italy, Germany, Russia, and more.
