is this the correct picture for the 7778. I thought it had two inputs, one for uhf and one for vhf

Hello: My unit had a single - I/O - and this was similar to the other units I've owned in terms of setup. I rely on digital channels(DTV) as my understanding is: Currently (prior to June 2009), 91% of broadcasting DTV stations are on UHF. A few cities, such as Chicago and Las Vegas have DTV stations on VHF as well as UHF.
1941007
That is the correct picture. No separate input for vhf and uhf; only one input.

I just went to Channel Master's website, and it appears they combined the inputs. Be careful buying Amazon Warehouse, as I bought a CM-7777 that was used (FM trap set to "OFF") and no mast mounting hardware

NO, one input only, it is presuming you have an antenna with both UHF/VHF on one lead. If you have separate antennae, you'll need a combiner.

Keep in mind that the 7778 is a two part system, ie one mounted on the antenna and second the power amplified inserter. Call CM (1-877-746-7261). Ideally, you want NO splitters between the antenna and the power inserter and that cable should be short as possible. Get power to the inserter by the most direct method available. Would highly recommend you NOT compromise signal strength by employing splitters AFTER the power inserter, but instead use a distributive amp, ie CM3412, etc as the benefits will be obvious.

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

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.

I believe it is. I think the HD in the name/description (....HD VHF/UHF means high definition VHF/UHF). Their pictures are as clear as my Hi-def pictures via DSL streaming.

Roger E.-Our DB8 picks up all the local UHF channels very well. It's mounted in the attic of a 1-story house and has a Winegard signal amplifier attached. We also get VHF channels 4,5,8,11 and 13 very well. We can get a channel 2 but not as well unless we rotate the antenna. There's not much on there we watch so we just don't bother with it.Keep in mind that the location of the signal towers and your particular location may cause issues receiving all channels. Some people have to buy two antennas and aim them in two different directions to get a good signal on all the channels. A signal amplifier will help too.

To add to my previous response to the question from Mr goddard, I would add that I receive all available channels from 3.1 thru 54.6 which covers VHF and UHF. But again, check with the mfr of the item.

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.

I think that the output from the antenna is a digtal format. If you want to convert that to a analog format you could use your converter box for that purpose.

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.

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

VHF only, not UHF. I get good VHF reception 180 degrees from antenna direction.

Yes and yes. Although this is dual band (VHF and UHF) and the BF888s and similar radios are UHF only, this doesn't make a difference. This antenna has slightly more gain than the factory UV5R and BF888s antennas so you may get a slight increase in range or more likely better reception/transmission within the outer areas of your range. Too many variables to say for sure, but it is a cheap upgrade. Know that it is a bit longer so it may get in the way more if that is an issue.

I was unable to get the VHF channels here in Cleveland, Ohio. It's a UHF antenna. If you go to their website you can get the adapter to get the VHF channels.

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

It's an Alfa. Both the antennas are as well. Don't think twice - It's great!

I returned mine since it didn't get me more channels then the 2v but I use a winegard lna-200 with the 2v. Antennas direct has a vhf add on you can get from their website
