Does it pick up VHF signal over 40mi away?

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

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.

Yes, it does. The signal may be harder to pick up, in certain situations. Such as metal warehouses, or big box stores, etc.

There are no VHF stations in our viewing area so I cannot address that feature for this antenna. However, we have the RV version Winegard Antenna on our motor home that receives VHF signals clearly. We watched Chicago VHF stations last year while camping in Bremen, IN which is about 100 miles from the transmitting towers! I hope this information is helpful.

I have been able to work 2-meter repeaters 45 miles away with a telescopic antenna. It depends upon the terrain of course.

Go on tvfool.com to see how far away the station signals are from you. If farther than like 40 miles, you may want to get a signal booster, otherwise you dont need anything except this antenna and some coaxial cable to go from the antenna to your tv. You will need a compass (or use a smartphone app) to set the direction of the antenna, and two wrenches to tighten up the antenna. Thats it.

depends of your location, I'm 35 miles from the stations, I receive all except the low VHF, like channel 2.

It will pick up any analog frequency from VHF to UHF to trunking, short of P25 digital. It is a little tricky to set up and use but it works great. You can look up charlotte frequencies online or thru a guide book.

The ones in my area appear to be about 30-35 miles away. Not sure how far away it will pull in signals.

This can pick up any fm station coming in the set range.the clarity depends on signal strength.in the city you may have more stations but in remote area you may not get all stations.

I haven't found it to be helpful. My signal from the base is as strong as this sends and it's 20 feet further away then the device.

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!

Richard,I am pleased with the unit and can pick up signal approx 50 metres away. Live in a 3 bedroom unit and never have a problemGood luck

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.

My antenna picks up signals from transmitters 50 miles away, but a friend picks up signals that are 90 miles away. We live where it is flat with no obstacles to block the signal.

my distance is not clear but the signal makes it through though not full strength. if your distance is clear it should be very strong

Yes. Just turn up the squelch to drown out the static and hit scan. It can pick up signal from quite far out.

The antenna is not multi directional, but has a very broad beam, so the actual "pointing" of the antenna is not critical. I have found that I can pickup signals, 50 miles distant, as long as the antenna is pointed within 20 degrees of the channels transmitter loaction.
