Reception notes
- UHF. KVPA-LD transmits on RF channel 34, in the UHF band (RF 14 to 36).
- Channel number. Your TV shows it as 42.1 even though the signal is on RF channel 34. A channel scan finds it either way. How to rescan
- NextGen TV. The FCC does not list KVPA-LD as broadcasting in ATSC 3.0, so any digital TV tuner can receive it.
