Several tricks can make your portable TV RF signal stronger.
The signals that travel to the air to your portable television set are called RF or radio frequency signals. Strong RF signals result in a clear picture with proper colors and clean sound without static or distortion. But a weak signal could result in snow on the screen, bad colors, double pictures and noisy or distorted sound. You can follow a few simple steps to make the TV RF signal stronger into your portable television to make your viewing more enjoyable.
Instructions
1. Adjust the rabbit ears antenna on your portable TV for the strongest signal. Usually they can rotate to several positions and telescope to different lengths. But the longest is not always the best. Experiment with different lengths and positions of both ears for the best picture and sound.
2. Move the TV to a different location. Usually higher is better, and sometimes only a small raise in height makes a significant difference. If at a beach, try putting it on a portable table. In a house, try a higher floor. Some obstructions can block or reflect a TV RF signal. In a backyard or in a park, experiment with different locations.
3. Install an external antenna. Most portable TVs have the rabbit ears connected to an antenna input jack. You can connect almost any larger antenna manufactured for television use to this jack.
4. Install an RF TV amplifier. Several manufacturers make amplifiers for the TF TV signal. Simply place it between the antenna and your TV set. Some operate on battery and some have electrical inputs. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation procedures.
