Hi I have had a Radar box for over five years now, last 2 years it was never used, when I plugged it in a few weeks back I noticed a drastic fall in receiver coverage.
Thinking it was the antenna or there is just to much traffic and this is causing a reduction in packets decoded, then I recalled the recent installation of two CellPhone masts close to my abode, one at 120m and the other 150m and now thinking these may be the problem.
I have now invested a DVB-T and Raspbery PI, pretty much the same coverage but now looking at improving my reception area.
OK when the weather gets better I intend to take a look at the Antenna maybe even raise it a few feet.
But was also thinking:
have I missed anything?

But was also thinking:
- Wrap the DVB-T in grounded foil.
- Put ferrite's on the USB and Ethernet cables
- Add a filter to the antenna feed close to the dongle
- Move the pi and dongle to the attic when stable and reduce the length of the feeder, maybe eventually a mast head box.
have I missed anything?
