What VHF frequencies can it use? It only lists 400-470MHz, but that's all in UHF.

If you have FCC licence for Commercial UHF, you can either use this band.If you have amateur licence in your country must countries have agreements to use worldwide. either you must verify FCC.

You must order the VHF radio in order to program VHF frequencies , the BF-888 S is strictly UHF.

You will need the correct frequencies which can be found on the net at http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Marine or several other sites

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.

Go to the ARRL Ham site and get the correct answer...I don't think RG8X will workwell on UHF frequencies ,, AL

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.

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.

Not sure about UHF or VHF and which channels are which, but I get all of the regular network stations.

I can't address all the techie issues about this antenna, but it work just fine with my scanner. I've had one for two years or so and I bring in signal from 75+ miles away in the two meter range and beyond, 136- 160+mhz. Uhf comes in fine. A local, with in 40 miles, uses Uhf 400, 460mkz range and it blows in, 5x5. So my answer to your question is , yes it does a great job, a great job seeing as how I live in a very rural area.

That is the correct picture. No separate input for vhf and uhf; only one input.

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

Any antenna will do. I get this question a lot. An antenna does not care if the signal is digital or analog, UHF/VHF broadcast is still the same frequency. Some of the new antennas pick up the signal a little better, but even the old "Rabbit Ear" antenna will work.

It's rated as a UHF-only antenna. However, it is possible to pick up upper-VHF stations, just not with the same gain as the UHF stations. For example, I can pick up a local real-channel 11 station that's about 40 miles away using this antenna. If your VHF stations are much farther than 40 miles, or if they are below real-channel 10, this antenna probably won't pick those up very well.

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.
