Frequency Block seperation

Recommended Posts

With the disapperance of our spectrum, I have been collecting my wireless on different frequency blocks, so I can at least have a choice if stuck in RF hell. I am thinking about picking up a fourth and I am going back and forth on if I should continue this seperation or get a frequency block that I have, that has the greatest available option. If I grabbed a block I didn't have already, the only block available has only 2 TV stations clear. But if I grabbed a block I currently have, it has 2 and a half TV stations clear, and it helps with intermod more effectively. Where, with my current setup, the block that is different limits my intermod availablity to 1 station. And I was informed by my dealer that Block 29(the most open block available in my area, which is completely open) is flagged to be eaten up by all the digital channels, and will become useless once that happens. Any thoughts?

Thanks

I've been using Lectros in 3 different blocks for years, mostly to make sure I had at least a couple working as move around the Northern California area.  The results of this spreading of the risk have been mixed.  One one hand, I've usually been able to get a couple of radios clear no matter what, but on the other it has made avoiding intermod issues more complex.  It turns out that there aren't that many configs of these blocks that both work together AND avoid the growing minefield of interference sources.  And yes, we're going to lose some the blocks that have worked the best around here.  Most other folks around here pick a block and get all the radios in that one zone.
