GB3EN switches to digital output

[G7VVF]

That's the spirit Gareth!
I did some path plots for some locations of users that could see the old analogue EN and transmit into it and they had some serious hills in their paths. I don't know whether hills are a bigger factor for DATV than for ATV, after all with DATV there is no such thing as a P1 or P2 picture, its P5 or nothing.

What I do know is that to get a P5 picture from analogue EN I needed an aerial mounted high and a preamp. For digital EN I can stand the aerial on the ground in the garden, with no pre amp and still get a D6 on the minituner. I hope that level of performance is replicated for more distant stations and those with hills in the way.

I am thinking of changing the FEC from 2/3 to 1/2 for even better coverage, anyone have any thoughts on doing that, pros and cons?
