Peter,
The filter was ahead of the amp, naturally. Anywhere on 2m causes the tvi.
Incidentally, I got the idea of using that brand of filter from a thread of yours on the defunct forum!
Doug,
The quarter wave stub was at the input of the filter.
I have absolutely no intention whatsoever of involving the ACMA. Pointless. I am fully aware of the fact that they would tell me to sod off and stop annoying them and watch the tv from the local translators that were provided at great cost.
However, we do watch tv from Melbourne because we can, and because the quality of the picture on the commercial channels locally is not as good as the Melbourne tv because it arrives here via being at the end of a string of off air hops. The ABC and SBS are excellent, as they are delivered by satellite directly to the translator.
During the next week I am going to try a mobile 2m antenna on a magnetic base on the roof and see what happens. Will keep you posted
