Hi @terracore -- My batteries didn't charge up as much as I would have liked, but I popped it back on and I'll leave it on for a few hours until the battery dies off, probably around 5 or 6 this evening (Sunday).

I can only get it up to 10 watts today for some reason, but my goal is to find real world examples of how well very low power will perform (if I'm to remain on solar power in the future). It should appear as channel 2.1 or 32.1, if you're able to get it at all.

Thanks!

Sorry H22, rescan showed no 2.1 or 32.1. But that could be antenna orientation.

I currently get the following 17 channels (all clear/ HD) :

4.1 ABC major network
4.2 MeTV classic television programming (Brady Bunch, Gunsmoke, MASH etc), http://www.metv.com/
4.3 Hawaii TV Hawaii news and weather
4.4 START TV https://www.starttv.com/
9.1 KFVE local, http://www.k5thehometeam.com/
9.2 BOUNCETV https://www.bouncetv.com/
10.1 PBS major network
10.2 PBS different programming than 10.1
10.3 PBS Sometimes different programming than 10.1 or 10.2
11.1 FOX major network
11.2 CW major network
13.1 NBC major network
13.2 CBS major network
14.1 KWHE religious programming and old TV shows/movies http://www.kwhe.com/
45.1 CBS (same programming as 13.2)
45.2 THIS TV movies and drama, http://honolulu.thistv.com/
45.3 ESCAPE TV basically a movie channel with movies from 80's-2000, http://www.escapetv.com/

@terracore - The knowledge of the fact that you didn't receive it is actually very helpful-- so thank you! Smile

Channel 45 is actually now operating on it's new frequency of Channel 20, but using virtual channel 45. Note that they've changed the call letters to K20CT on the broadcast. It's actually a typo: their old calls are K45CT, new ones are K20NX.

@terracore: 4.3 is branded as "Hawaii TV" and so far it seems that they run KITV news on loop, except they switch to all-weather when KITV has their live newscast on 4.1.

Edit: 45 seems to have a better signal here now.

Hey aloha HOTPE.
"If you hear back from them please let us know. Thanks for contacting them."

Thanks for the email link...however:
Yeah that was the same email I had used several times before and recently tried again. I had asked for the one you used in hopes it might be different and that it would draw some response but low and behold I have never gotten any replies, including recently.

At least the KITV (ABC) channels are back. Still missing the NBC and CBS channels though.

Well let's see... I posted about the channels returning on the first of December. Now on 12/4 it seems the KITV 4 channels are gone again. That was fast.

And now back. Off in the morning and returned when I checked this afternoon.

It's a conspiracy.

Hah! Must be because the 4's (ABC) are gone again.
