does it pick up UHF and VHF channels

It is not designed for VHF, but it *MAY* work for VHF if the signals are strong enough. VHF-lo (Channels 2-6) can be quite difficult with this type of antenna, rabbit ears will work better for VHF.

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.

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!

I am in New Orleans. This antenna only picks up UHF channels for me. It does not pick up VHF channels.

it all depends on the signal in ur arealike in my bedroom it don't get 19 but in my living room it does..an it has to be set evey time u move ur future around..

It picks them up if the antenna is placed in the right spot. My old rabbit ears worked better for some stations. If you can get the antenna to an outside wall or window it works pretty well.

It says it can receives VHF frequencies, 30 MHz to 300 MHz, FM stations in the US are 87.9 to 179.9. So it should pick up FM radio.

No. It picks up local channels, CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, PBS, QVC, Home Shopping. I hope this helps.

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'm very pleased with the antenna. To answer the question YES it picks up the weather channels. The antenna is attached to my Cobra 38 WXST handheld radio. I really don't think you will have any issues with it.

It did pick up digital signals. I even got some High def channels, but you must have a digital capable TV. Great antenna for the price. I'm quite happy with it.

Borrow an old antenna from your grandparents and see if you can pick up any channels. It should pick up at least the main VHF channels easily. The newer ones like this model should pick up a few more than the old antennas. PBS channels along with CBS ABC NBC and FOX.

It picks up broadcast channels clearly in that range. In fact, before getting this Mohu, I was unaware that there were other over-the-air channels besides Channel 4 and 5 down there in my area (4-1, 4-2, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3), near San Antonio, TX.

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.

The newer CM 4228HD is NOT a vhf antenna. It will pick up some vhf stations but only if they are strong in your area. I thing the 4228 is a better uhf antenna but depending on your location and the stations available the winegard mounted with a rotor may be a better choiced. Check TVfool.com to find out where and how strong your local station are.

No, those are cable channels. It picks up local channels that are broadcasting in your area.

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.

It is a highly directional antenna designed to receive UHF but will probably pick up VHF signals if the transmitter is close by and it is pointed at it. That said I can pick up tv stations that have their transmitter about 25 miles away with a coat hanger as an antenna. The vast majority of stations today are broadcasting on a UHF freuuency. Even if it is a low number channel 2-13 it doesn't necessarily mean that they are broadcasting on a VHF frequency. You would be best off with an antenna designed for VHF/UHF. The antenna that I use is Dennys TV service "Stacker" antenna with seperate UHF and VHF antennas stacked one on top of the other. I chose this antenna because it is mounted in my attic on a rotor and it fits in the eves much better than a longer antenna. I did buy an 91XG to try to pick up one particular UHF station but found that it was no better than the Dennys antenna that I had. The 91XG is currently sitting on the floor of my attic unused Again I would recommend a UHF/VHF antenna from a vendor like Dennys, Solid Signal, Summit Source. I would stay away from those that make outrageous claims like receiving channels 150 miles away etc. Some reputable manufacturers are Winegard, Channel Master, AntennaCraft, Blonder Tongue. Before you buy and install a new antenna I strongly urge you to visit the TVFool website and to a lesser extent AntennaWeb. There you should find answers to many of your questions. Good luck.

I'm using it as an ATSC (HD digital signal antenna). From what I can see when I do a channel scan, I get no VHF/UHF signals. Then again, that may be because there are no broadcasters in my area that still broadcast VHF/UHF.

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 short answer is no. This radio only receives VHF & UHF. Shortwave is HF & requires a different receiver & antenna combo.

All standard pre-programmed vhf channels are available. Should be a list on google. A lot hah!
