Reception notes
- UHF. KVOS-TV transmits on RF channel 14, in the UHF band (RF 14 to 36).
- Channel number. Your TV shows it as 12.1 even though the signal is on RF channel 14. A channel scan finds it either way. How to rescan
- NextGen TV. The FCC does not list KVOS-TV as broadcasting in ATSC 3.0, so any digital TV tuner can receive it.
