Why do I get a perfect picture on BBCA, but a lousy picture on D3+4? I have nothing clever in my antenna system, no tuned amplifiers, no very high gain narrow bandwith aerials. The signal strength on D3+4 is OK, generally SNR 27.7, but there are loads of uncorrectable errors.

Thanks for the response. I've changed to a lower gain antenna and the problem is fixed. Perhaps interference from another relay station in a side lobe?
