I finally got some screen captures of DTV Es that weren't just "post mortum" (boring) views of the DTT901 menu memory.:)

It is a bit constraining to sit with one hand on the Zenith remote display button and the other on the Win98 computer mouse to activate the Snappy 4 for whenever a burst of DTV Es decode locks.
WHBF-DT-4 then produced several runs of decodes long enough for me to use the 8mm camcorder on the 5" b&w monitor. I eventually ran the a/v lines from the CECB to the VCR to tape some in color (after some frantic fumbling and cockpit errors:duh: - the audio line was still faulty).
These decodes were AFTER an intense session of FM Es with 107's from IN, IL, MI. Also, they did NOT coincide with the strongest 66.310-MHz DTV pilot signal levels on the Yaseu FT-847.
