Does this antenna pick up low-band VHF (2-6), high-band VHF (7-13) and UHF or only high-band VHF and UHF? What is the reception frequency?

Cheap product didn't work. I bought the mono leaf and it works better. If you can buy one that mounts on outside of home, best signal

It is 98" I actually drilled the rivot out of that set of elements to make the antenna smaller. I live 27 miles from tv towers in hilly terrain. It still picks up excellent in the vhf high and low bands and uhf. This is a great antenna for the price!

If you are actually talking channels 2 or 6, which are VHF frequencies and not Virtual channels like 2.1 or 6.1, then you need a VHF antenna. This is a UHF, not a VHF antenna. In the future all TV will be in the UHF range which this antenna picks up.

I am only 14 miles away from the antenna farm, so I can't say. I actually installed the antenna indoors and clipped it on a floor lamp. My antenna does pick up VHF, however. At least I believe it does - there is a port for VHF on the antenna. I must have a different version than Robert.

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.

Thank you for sharing your experence. sounds good for VHF. I am more into UHF myself. The UHF repeaters in my area are within 12 miles of my location, So I think It should do an above average job. Terrain considering of course. Thanks again.

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

Mine is putting out 4 watts on VHF and 5 watts on UHF. In reality no one will be able to tell the difference between 4 watts and 5 watts

This antenna works well with the higher uhf channels but not with the lower UHF channels. Research shows that the elements are too short for the channels on the lower end of the UHF spectrum

Roger E.-Our DB8 picks up all the local UHF channels very well. It's mounted in the attic of a 1-story house and has a Winegard signal amplifier attached. We also get VHF channels 4,5,8,11 and 13 very well. We can get a channel 2 but not as well unless we rotate the antenna. There's not much on there we watch so we just don't bother with it.Keep in mind that the location of the signal towers and your particular location may cause issues receiving all channels. Some people have to buy two antennas and aim them in two different directions to get a good signal on all the channels. A signal amplifier will help too.

I'm assuming you mean VHF? Doesn't need any additions. I currently receive VHF channels 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 13 with no problems. Channels 2, 6, and 8 are coming from a distance of 70 miles, but I am also using a Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT Preamp to help pull them in and also to compensate for my long (70') cable run.

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.

Yes, it willl pick up both frequencies, even radio frequencies. I've tried different antennas, but this one is the best, it even gets more channels and i don't need to reposition the antenna to get better image. I would recommend it.

No. It's pretty much frequency specific to the VHF radio spectrum. 150.000 MHz to aprox 166.000 mhz.

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

CM-4221HD will pick up UHF and High Band VHF Stations. Assuming your Channel Master 11 is on RF frequency 7 or higher than you'll pick it up! (The display channel is not always the RF channel, please keep this in mind) If you need to pick up RF channels lower than 7, I recommend our CM-3000HD model.

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