does not mention vhf reception. if this is just a uhf antenna they should say so!

I am currently getting ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS. If I rotate it a bit, I can also pick up others like WB etc.

In the info on the Amazon product posting, it does clearly say "Receives Crystal Clear UHF HDTV Signals." Since it doesn't mention VHF, you should assume that it's intended for UHF and not VHF. That said, it is possible to pick up stations in the upper VHF band with this antenna. For instance, I use it to pick up a station broadcasting on real channel 11 that's about 40 miles away. Signals in upper VHF (10 & 11) can be picked up, but they aren't as strong as the UHF stations.

I was only able to pick up UHF and not overly impressed with its ability to do that. To be fair though, I have it mounted in the attic

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."

This item has tv with UHF / VHF signal, but i dont know has digital channels or not

Channels 7-69 are UHF, 1-6 are VHF. Some antennas are UHF only (they tend to be smaller because UHF wave lengths are shorter). Some are UHF/VHF combined to pick up all channels but have some elements that are bigger to pick up the longer wave lengths of VHF. The CM2016 is the latter.

I'm using it as an ATSC (HD digital signal antenna). From what I can see when I do a channel scan, I get no VHF/UHF signals. Then again, that may be because there are no broadcasters in my area that still broadcast VHF/UHF.

Why would their tech support say that when the product specs say "Improves UHF/VHF/FM antenna reception"? Either the tech support person or marketing is saying something false, and I'd sure like to know which.

Antennas make a difference. Cell phone frequency bandwidth different from UHF or VHF TV.

I am assuming you are asking if this radio operates in several VHF bands. Yes, it does, it covers amateur radio as well as public service in both VHF and UHF bands, narrow band and wide band. It is also capable of transmitting on bands that are illegal to operate on.

I'm not a expert on antenna's but I have my antenna 20' off the ground on a metal mast and it receives in a 45 t0 50 mile radius on VHF high band and UHF,but the antenna doesn't do well on the 800 MHz band . I have no mountains around me so I'm sure that has something to do with the reception too.

Based on the 44 channels I'm picking up from my location in Central Florida, I would say yes. The VHF band runs from 2-6 (low) & 14-69 (high) and the UHF band is 7-13. I'm getting channels 2, 6, 9, 15, 18, 24, 26, 27, 35, 43-55, 65, 68.

It depends. High VHF are the most difficult (typically PBS) and Mohu are the first to admit that is a major problem. Go to TVTitan.com, antennaweb.com, TVFool.com, and FCC which offer tools to tell you what you can expect. Sorry, the FCC one is very good [best?], but the URL is impossible! Look for antenna, digital conversion ...

Yes it does. The antenna is "broad banded" enough that VHF will be picked up. You might see my other answers about beam width at distance as well as signal gain on receive.

Dimple,I got this antenna for mother-in-law and she is very pleased with the reception of both UHF and VHF channels. She is receiving two channels I am aware of that are 30+ miles away on VHF.Also remember that there are factors that will affect you signal...such as obstructions, trees, mountain ranges, the height you have your antenna set up in the air, etc. Anyway, hope this helps you out.

If you are actually talking channels 2 or 6, which are VHF frequencies and not Virtual channels like 2.1 or 6.1, then you need a VHF antenna. This is a UHF, not a VHF antenna. In the future all TV will be in the UHF range which this antenna picks up.

This antenna is optimized for digital UHF and VHF. You would probably do much better with a Wineguard omni-directional antenna (about $18)

It is a highly directional antenna designed to receive UHF but will probably pick up VHF signals if the transmitter is close by and it is pointed at it. That said I can pick up tv stations that have their transmitter about 25 miles away with a coat hanger as an antenna. The vast majority of stations today are broadcasting on a UHF freuuency. Even if it is a low number channel 2-13 it doesn't necessarily mean that they are broadcasting on a VHF frequency. You would be best off with an antenna designed for VHF/UHF. The antenna that I use is Dennys TV service "Stacker" antenna with seperate UHF and VHF antennas stacked one on top of the other. I chose this antenna because it is mounted in my attic on a rotor and it fits in the eves much better than a longer antenna. I did buy an 91XG to try to pick up one particular UHF station but found that it was no better than the Dennys antenna that I had. The 91XG is currently sitting on the floor of my attic unused Again I would recommend a UHF/VHF antenna from a vendor like Dennys, Solid Signal, Summit Source. I would stay away from those that make outrageous claims like receiving channels 150 miles away etc. Some reputable manufacturers are Winegard, Channel Master, AntennaCraft, Blonder Tongue. Before you buy and install a new antenna I strongly urge you to visit the TVFool website and to a lesser extent AntennaWeb. There you should find answers to many of your questions. Good luck.

Any antenna will do. I get this question a lot. An antenna does not care if the signal is digital or analog, UHF/VHF broadcast is still the same frequency. Some of the new antennas pick up the signal a little better, but even the old "Rabbit Ear" antenna will work.
