Although I get the impression that yours used to work ok?

I took the UHF to a specialist and the short answer was "it's cooked mate". The output is blown. Being a cheaper and discontinued model it's not worth fixing. I purchased a refurbished and tuned Oricom uhf030 from him for less than half the current retail price. Happy days!

Not about the channel offset, but regarding the cheapo aerial vs. the nice GME one: have you done VSWR tests to shorten your aerial to the exact fraction of the wavelenth?

Cheapo aerial didn't work with two other UHF units so I reckon it was cooked. New gme aerial and refurbished UHF works a treat now. Happy days
