What's the difference between this and the cheaper/unavailable UHF/VHF Band Seperator-Combiner?

I think the only major differences are that this comes with a weather resistant cover, and a mount bracket for a pole.

yes it will work to a degree. i use a splitter in reverse to combine a UHF and a VHF antenna. there is signal loss!, but i can live with it. the antenna stores have splitters to combine specific frequencies/bands. it would pay to do some more research and perhaps contact a store to asses your specific intention.

And here's the answer newer HAMs hate to get- it depends. Keep in mind that UHF and VHF have different characteristics, so it's even going to vary based on which band you're using. Best answer, I guess, is "about the same as any other HT with a decent antenna."

I know of no UHF/VHF combiner/splitter that includes an FM trap function. As Antennas Direct has already mentioned, that function is offered as a separate devise. You can find some preamplifiers on the market that will include one or both functions, but if your situation involves strong signals already, a preamplifier can cause you problems due to overloading.

This adapter allows you to connect a 50 ohm coax from a antennae on a mast to your hand held ham /uhf/vhf radio. hope this helps. Mike M.

Why?! That makes no sense and it's not how it is designed. To answer your question, you'd need a separate combiner/splitter to combine your illogical "two antennas" to the single input of THIS unit.

wrong jerry...a lot of UHF programming is switching back to the VHF signal range after june. Its cheaper to power those wavelengths. Check out TVfool.com to see what the new channels will be in your area after june...you will probably see some of them actually switching to VHF. Might want to fish that antenna out of the trash....

I do not know the difference between the two. I use it for Uverse and all the functions work. I use it for both table top & wireless receivers. Hope this helps.

Yes I have a VHF antenna and UHF and combine them. If it is a UHF/VHF combo + another UHF/VHF combos idk. Should work fine though, can't see it not. Pretty simple device.

There should be no problem with powering either a VHF or UHF transceiver. (or a CB either!)

Ah! Well, I've used it with 30 and 50 watt VHF and UHF TX. When I bought it, a fellow ham warned me about some of them being quite noisy, but I have had no issues at all. For its size and price, it does a great job!de WJ8I

Unless there is a splitter internal to the unit, RF amplifiers only have one output. The output cannot be split without some signal degradation. Whether degradation is a problem depends on amplifier output signal to noise ratio, gain flatness, antenna gain, cable and connector losses between the antenna and amplifier, RF environment, and a host of other concerns. You basically won't know how much it degrades until you try. To connect more than one device use an RF splitter/combiner, and they only split in half: half the power gets routed to one port and half to the other. (A four way splitter is just three two-way splitters cascaded.) Every split drops the signal + noise power by half (by 3dB), or more, depending on connector and internal losses, which may be another dB or so. Splitting also adds a small amount of noise from various sources including reflection from one port to another. In order to keep additional noise to a mininum, it is best to terminate an unused port with a matched load, which for RG cable would be a 75ohm load. Lastly, minimize cabling, particularly between amp and antenna, avoid cheap cables, connectors, cable bends under 3-4" radius and unnecessary connections. It is a tricky science. BTW, do not buy this cheap, poorly designed amplifier; do some research, spend more and buy from a name brand in RF like RCA or Weingard. Good luck & have fun.

On a watt meter UHF output is just about exactly 4 watts on the high setting. I ended up going with a Diamond SRH805S stubby since I wanted this HT for UHF use anyway and I can say that the combo, even for a stubby and only 4 watts, is impressive as far as true distance is concerned. The stock antenna is not going to impress you for UHF IMO.Ron, W2ZXL

We have one VIP612 receiver and use the signal separator to separate the two satellite signals traveling over the single coax cable coming into the house. If you are attempting to feed two receivers from one cable, I'm thinking a signal splitter would do the job instead of a signal separator.

IF what you are asking for is combine two signals that already carry UHF/VHF into one feed, I used a Wineguard CC-7870 ( Winegard CC-7870 Antenna Coupler ) to combine two Clearstream C2V ( ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 60 Mile Range ) antennas pointed at different broadcast locations. Keep the cables near equal length for best results.

I believe using 100 feet of it might be somewhat lossy on UHF and VHF, I use a short length(6ft) for a handytalky dual bander antenna in my bedroom, if I were to mount on top of the roof, I'd get the larger(not rg58 lol) and better coax to go vhf/uhf with that long of a run. Quality coax is like quality tools, work better/last longer. I suggest a quick call to HRO and get their advice.

The 36 db high Performance works then doesn't work. I had 2 of them and threw them away. A preamp close to a TV antenna works well. However, VHF channels are hard to receive at a distance.
