How strong are the modulator in the VCR's?
Any old VCR's have a Ch 2 Option on it?

The B-T device does have some kick to it. I've got one myself. They come up for not very much once in a while. With the right magic combination of switches, I think it will cover all of the VHF channels at least. Mine came set on channel 5 and I've never fooled with it.
Never seen a VCR with anything but a 3/4 selector.

I might get a Blonder-Tongue anyways with your can select your Channel
But there's smaller one that has fixed Channels, But not for Channel 2

What are you trying to do?
I believe I have an old BlonderTongue (BT) ch 12 modulator floating around.
I grew up midway between the baltimore and DC market, we had strong signals on Ch 2, 4, and 5 -
but since 11 & 13 were both quite a few miles away in Baltimore,
Chan 12 was great for injecting a AV source like a VCR into a local MATV system ...
(Master Antenna TV system) so you would not get local interference ...
- I used to do that sort of stuff 25-30 years back ...

Without trying to spend to much,
I'm looking for a VCR that has a strong RF modulator on it, So I can put a VHF Antanna on it
To broadcast like my DTV Converter Box on Ch 3 or 4 without using and Amp though the house

Baby, you're my winterblue
Wouldn't the easiest thing to do be to connect a RF out cable to a precisely-cut dipole for Channel 3 or 4 and try it? That's what I'd do. Probably wouldn't take more than an hour or so if you had the right tubing, wood scraps, cable and hardware.
