Can you combine two (2) full-range (VHF+UHF) antennas with this device?

yes - i used the combiner to feed in RF cables from my UHF and my VHF antennas - works pretty well depending on the signal strength coming in...
1953111
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.

Official answer: No. This device will pass UHF frequencies on the UHF port and VHF signals on the VHF port and each port will attenuate the opposite band's signals by an amount greater than 25-30 dB (which is what it is supposed to do). It it NOT intended to combine multi-band antennas (UHF and VHF), a simple two-port splitter will do that although it will produce uncertain and variable results. Antennas Direct Tech Support

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 used it to combine 2 db8 antenna and they worked great. If you have a weak signal then yes i woul add a preamp/amp combo to boost the signal.

All it does is combine antennas. That looks like a omni directional antenna. It looks like the two antennas would fight the signal from each other. But it combines any antenna you want to.

keep looking, you just need a uhf amplifier, find one at radio shack. or even a old tv vhf,uhf amplifier,thats built in antena...

it depends from that type of use is applied... if as AP is used you can use two omni directional antenna of 12 dbi, model HG-5812 U-Pro of the L-COM company... if as link is used you can use two grid antenna of 27 dbi, model HG-4958-27G always of the L-COMbyealex

Sounds like you will have conflict of two signals on the same bands. I have seen houses with two dish or antennas, but I suppose there is a switch in thier line or receivers.

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.

There is more to it than just joining the two antenna using a splitter in reverse.They are indeed canceling each other out. You would need to research the frequency the stations you are trying to receive and install appropriate notch filters for each in theory. Your A/B switch is probably more cost effective and simple solution.

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.

I'm using the Winegard CC-7870 to combine two antenna signals by using two different antennas. The Channel Plus 2512 that you mentioned is used to split the signal to different Devices. I hope this helps.

Yes, but you will need a splitter or an amplifier with two outputs. The antenna has only one output. Splitters tend to attenuate (reduce) the signal strength by about half and there may not be enough to two tv sets. An amplifier with two outputs may be a better choice. My antenna system with a splitter does provide an adequate signal to both of my tv's. The major network broadcast towers are about 50 miles away.

Depends. My range problem was on one side of the house, so I was able to buy just one and point it in that direction. It worked great for my application. If you have multiple weak areas then you may need to buy more than one. Regardless, it is not required that you buy more than one to upgrade the original antennas.

The unit is a broadband amplifier that covers both the UHF and VHF bands. Since it only has one input port, you need to match it with a VHF/UHF antenna. Not all of them are dual band, so make sure.

Sorry to hear that. The RCA TVPRAP1R amplifier continues to work very well with my Radio Shack long range VHF/UHF antenna. I live on a fringe area of a large city and this amplifier makes the flaws in reception of digital TV bearable. It also increased the number of stations I get to over 40.

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.

You would need a coupler to make the proper mechanical connections for the antenna. I would doubt they are commercially available. And the reason is that the radio would still out put 5 watts vs a dash or bulkhead mount radio at 25 watts. Yes I would buy this VHF again. Thx.

Yes you can. It includes provisions for both an AM and FM antenna. I didn't have much luck with the included AM because of local interference.RR
