Some people here in Gainesville that were missing channels dumped their un amped square shooter and even put up something as small as a Radio Shack U-75R since they were only attempting UHF. It solved their problems.
The U-75R is the wrong antenna for jepicone, but I brought it up to show how bad a square shooter receives. Even at close range, line of sight, they probably get too much multi path. That is the only reason I can figure I keep hearing that the SS missing some locally strong channel all over the country when it picks up weaker ones. It has to be because it has no directionality to speak about, thus picking up unwanted mulitpath.
I like the idea of suggesting he use a 7694p, as it's covers all the LA channels and has so much more gain they won't need an amp if they already get everything else. And if the problem is mulitpath a 7694p rejects a LOT more mulitpath than a SS.
