Does this have separate amplification for UHF and VHF? In some pictures on line I can see separate inputs for uhf and vhf but don't on this picture.

I don't guess it does. Run Coaxial to amp from unit on antenna one in one out plug in and works great simple to install.

The ones in the pictures I've seen have 3 cable connects on the tower part,but mine has only two.One input from the antenna and one to the TV amp power supply.The power supply has no cord like the ones I've seen in the pictures also.It plugs directly into an outlet and the coax hooks into it. There is a splitter that connects the power supply, the tv,and and the coax from the tower.

No. There is just one input and one output. The output also serves as the power supply for the amplifier. The unit pictured here is the amplifier which mounts on the antenna mast or close to it. The power supply is connected downline just before the first splitter. The power will travel from the power supply to the amplifier on the same coax cable that the signal travels from the amplifier to the power supply on.

no it is for both. There is a separate switch inside if you want to use it for FM radio also.

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.

An antenna picks up electromagnetic waves. It makes no difference to an antenna if those waves carry analog, digital, or FM content. Therefore there is no such thing as a "digital" antenna, it's all just an advertising gimmick. It's all just electromagnetic waves to an antenna. In most cases when they say "digital" they just mean the UHF-only part of the TV band. Since the change to all digital TV, in some areas, the TV stations broadcast on the UHF band, but not all areas. In my area of NY state, channel 67.1, 67.2, 67.3, & 67.4 broadcast over the old VHF channel 7. Channel 11, broadcasts on the old VHF channel 11. So if you want to pick up the most channels, you'd need an antenna that will pick up UHF & VHF frequencies well. Those thin, small "LEAF" antennas are UHF-only antennas & won't pick up VHF well, but may pick them up anyway if you live close enough to the VHF broadcast tower, & the signal is strong enough where you live. Usually (but there is no set rule), when they say "digital" antenna they're talking about a UHF antenna, because many (but not all) of the digital channels broadcast on the UHF band. You do not need a converter to use any antenna. If you have an older TV that doesn't have a digital tuner to decode the digital signals, you will need a converter box to turn the digital coding to an analog signal that the TV can pick up.

When you purchase an antenna, make sure it's able to pick up both UHF and VHF. You may also choose to buy two separate antennas but that depends on your distance from the stations in your area. I got an antenna made by Antennas Direct and it works as advertised (and maybe just a little bit better than that). I have the Antennas Direct C2-V-CJM ClearStream 2-V Long Range UHF/VHF Indoor/Outdoor DTV Antenna with 20-Inch Mount. I'm about 35 miles from all of the stations and am very happy with this converter box. It's low priced and works.

Pick up some cheap rabbit ears or any other vhf antenna and added it to your set-up with a splitter. I currently have a amp, splitter, the RCA basic antenna connected with my Leaf. I have no issues with reception or getting all the channels in the area. Make sure you use a digital splitter.

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.

according to specs the gain is negative for VHF, so you will be better off with a plain dipole for that frequency range.I have a station on VHF channel 12 very close and this antenna won't pick it up, but it is pretty good with the remote UHF stations.

Reading the description of that antenna, I noticed that it has a built in amplifier. Try using it first, to see what your reception is, before adding a separate amp.

Nope, sorry J. no preamp here. It is a good equalizer though and serves my needs. The only company I know of that makes a seperate phono preamp is NAD. They make good equipment and I think they have a budget model. I think their address is www.nad.com.

I have no way to measure the output but it worked for me on two channels that I could not receive on antenna only. Also no matter the amp or booster it can only improve the signal it sees from the antenna. I you have a poor antenna or wiring then the amp you use can only boost the signal plus noise it sees.

Yep, Christine, it will tackle both frequency ranges. It is no different in it basic design parameters than the old rabbit ears from back in the television stone ages. Back when we had to bang rocks together to change the channels. It is just neater looking. Remember, UHF is more line of sight than VHF, so they can be blocked easier by, hills, buildings, trees, etc than VHF.

No it does not. It is a single band, single VFO (vhf) radio with no repeater function. Typically a dual band radio (vhf/uhf) would have a crossband repeat capability with two independent VFOs.

No - mine works fine without an amplifier. Keep in mind, however, that this antenna, ClearStream4 is for UHF channels only. For us, this did not pull in VHF channels. The ClearStream5 is for VHF and is made to be hooked up with the ClearStream4. For us, the ClearStream5 did not work at all. Instead we are using a cheap $25 VHF antenna, which works on all channels except for 11 and 11.1. We are contemplating buying an amplifier, which not be on the roof with the antennas, but inside between the incoming cable and the TV. We like Jay Leno.

It's pulling in vhf channels also. That's a pleasant surprise. I am receiving all of the channels I received via the uhf-vhf antenna.

No... This joins a UHF and VHF antennae together In my case, I added a digital antennae and used this to connect the signals.. You will need to use the same length coax between both antannas and this unit, else , you may get a ghost picture.

The connection to the vhf radio is different from a stereo. As far as I know you can't use it with a stereo.

Don' know about Fm. Shure does on UHF and VHF. You could buy it see if it does. If not,send it back. Great otherwise. I'm impressed with it. Dave D.
