One of the channels did require some fiddling with the UHF loop position to get error-free reception.

Anyway, the sound output is very low with the Insignia on the CTC-5 super chassis, so tomorrow I will be trying some other converters to see what happens. Anyway, I will be looking at the superb owl on this cranky old beast, at least a little, for grins and giggles.
I always found the Magnavox's to have weak audio on certain sets.
IIRC, Tom Carlson commented on the reason. Most of the other makes don't seem to have that problem.
