So after reading the reviews my question is is the antenna both UHF & VHF or just UHF .

not what I thought.. Doesn't get many channels with the antenna.. was going to try returning it but haven't had the time or its to late

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.

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.

I had to buy a power cord and I bought one through amazon. It is power cord for vhf/uhf for 11.50. it works great and the id number is ASIN B0054688jk. also it didn't take long to get it through the mail. I am very happy with what I have purchased through Amazon.

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.

Yes Section 5 of the users manual says "Can this antenna work with Analoguetransmissions?Yes, this antenna can receive analoguetelevision broadcasts in the UHF and VHFbandwidths."

No. This model antenna is specific to UHF frequencies. For VHF at that distance, I'd recommend this <http://is.gd/OhpTQJ>.

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.

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

The only VHF station in this area is on Channel 3 and it comes in fine. However, I'm told that it is actually broadcasting in the UHF band somehow. I've not used the antenna with FM.

A UHF antenna receives VHF signals too. If they are over the air and make it to the spot where the antenna is located, then any type of antenna gets a signal. The issue is how well that signal gets to your TV. Elements of an antenna are optimized based on wave lengths of broadcast frequencies. The larger VHF antennas have long elements to get the lower VHF channels, and shorter ones for the higher VHF channels. Ideally, you would use a VHF antenna that looks like half of a typical analog VHF antenna. Since the wave lengths of remaining VHF frequencies in use for DTV are closer to UHF, the UHF antenna might be "good enough." But this antenna is not optimal. On the other hand, since "good enough" does not have problems such as snow or ghosts with digital, you won't need a better antenna. With analog, you have a continuous range of clarity that goes from a clear picture to gradually increasing levels of snow until the picture in not watchable but still identifiable. With DTV, you generally get a clear signal or none at all. There are also in between cases where a signal might give a picture that freezes, drops for a few seconds on occasion, has jumbled squares on the picture, or sometimes gives no signal at all. If you get something better than the in between case, it will be just as clear as a perfect signal, so you are not hurt by an antenna that is not optimal for a given frequency. If antennaweb.org shows that you need a relatively small antenna, it's unlikely that you will have problems with VHF.

The antenna has a balun built in so you can connect your coax directly to it. It also has a second connector to connect a VHF antenna.

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.

Depends on your TV...I get both but to tell you the truth I do as well with a Term indoor antenna on my second floor.No...but I get what used to be vhf and UHF ...all now HD....clearly. But I do as well with an indoor Term antenna on my second story TV.

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.

This is a UHF (real channels 14 and higher) only design. I have not found any consumer grade UHF only antenna intended for the North American market that matches this antenna's gain performance. Check at TVFool to see what real channels are used in your area and how strong/weak they are expected to be at your location. If there are any VHF channels (real channels 2 through 13)that you need or want, a second antenna designed for the VHF bans(s) would be needed.

I don't believe its set for VHF ... have to research that, but I did recycle my coax cables from cable company throughout my house. all worked very well. May want to look into a signal booster at some point, but that is about it.
