why is it listed as vhf/uhf radio? This model is a ufh radio only!

These are UHF only. They really would sell a lot of these if they made them in VHF though.

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....

The D model is the UHF version, I think, The one that I bought is a VHF 2 Meter, it does not have the D in the SN.

Technically, these radios are not legal to use in the VHF commercial band, although they can be programmed within the range of specified frequencies. These inexpensive radios are not trunking, whereas some of the iCOM radios will trunk

I am using it on THREE UV-82's and I am THRILLED by its performance on both VHF High band 144-176 MHz and UHF 460-512 MHz. Hope this helps.

Not specified in product documentation. I assume it meets the UHF/VHF frequency requirements for device purpose. (http://www.vlf.it/frequency/bands.html)

Let's see if we can get this straight. This radio is FCC Part 90 accepted. That means it can be used on most frequencies in the VHF or UHF band, as long as the user is properly licensed by the FCC. There are five Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) VHF frequencies that do not require a license. However, this radio cannot be used legally on MURS frequencies because it's not Part 95 certifed. It is not legal to use this radio on FRS frequencies at all. Note that GMRS frequencies cannot be used for business purposes, but can be used for any personal or family communication. Unfortunately, this radio is not Part 95 certified, so it can't legally be udes on those frequencies. There are also so-called "DOT" and "Star" frequencies that require a simple license from the FCC. If you want to be legal, you can get licensed on any of these frequencies by filling out a simple FCC form and sending the FCC money, usually about $85. The bottom line is that this radio cannot be used without some type of FCC license. You can do a Google search to find out how to apply for an FCC license on any of the business frequencies in the VHF or UHF bands.

No, you have to program matching frequencies in each radio. The uv5r is both uhf and vhf. The tyt is uhf only, so you will havr to program matching uhf frequencies.

it will not pick up VHF channels with a tower within 2 miles of my home and no tall buildings, seems to work for UHF. but if you want both buy something else!

It's rated as a UHF-only antenna. However, it is possible to pick up upper-VHF stations, just not with the same gain as the UHF stations. For example, I can pick up a local real-channel 11 station that's about 40 miles away using this antenna. If your VHF stations are much farther than 40 miles, or if they are below real-channel 10, this antenna probably won't pick those up very well.

Sorry meant could not pick up any VHF channels. A lot of VHF stations broadcast their HD signals on a UHF signal.

It is not a UHF. It is a threaded bolt. I believe 3/8 inch but not positive. I had to buy an adaptor to mate with my UHF antenna cable.

It is not. This is just the C2 with UHF capability. The C2-V-CJM adds VHF capability and the 20" J-mount. It is a unique listing, but is sold by us.

No. Pure and simple. Low numbered stations did not give up their low band VHF signals. That a shame but true for most stations. Once again the FCC dropped the ball and let the industry call the shots. So now we all need two types of antennas to watch TV: a VHF antenna and separate UHF antenna, unless one has room and a structure for a 120" boom antenna. Receiving channels above 13 is easy, receiving 2-13 becomes quite an expensive project.

This is a UHF antenna only. I returned it and got a different one. I could not pick up any UHF channels.

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.

No. This radio, whether tuned by dial or direct entry, can tune only to 29999 kHz, which is the top of the HF bands. Both services that you mentioned are in the VHF portion of the radio spectrum.
