Is this VHF conpatable with other UHF equepment working

Hi Rex,I have been using this device for at least 7 months. This equipment is used alongside other UHF microphones and there is no interference.

This works on vhf frequencies so it will not interfere with your uhf microphones. If you have vhf microphones odds are there will be a mic or two where the frequencies clash. I have used this unit in two install situations. Never has a clash with UHF. Your building location may have a natural frequency source that causes a clash. My church moved, the new location has a source on one these frequencies. The unit performs surprisingly well and has no more frequency issues than vhf more expensive brands in my experience. That said, please do not expect to get the performance of 8 shure beta 87s with 1200 selcetable frequencies. If you've got a good clean sound system with good clean power and users with even a little bit of respect for the gear you'll be very pleased. I've used the 8 hand unit at my church for the past few years and have had children crack a couple. About the same breakage from abuse as the expensive brands. Caveat, I purchased this unit after using the 8 hand held version. Then my dayjob picked up and so I can speak confidently on the freqencies used and the handhelds. As a horn player and soundman I think the lavs look simply pretty well made. Still in storage until I get to gig again. Purchased for my gospel band to have horn clip on mics and vocal mics in a super quick set up.

not sure but they do work wonderful,i use my headset 2 or more nights a week along with others sing with head sets and the mics and I never have any problems....

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.

I am using it on THREE UV-82's and I am THRILLED by its performance on both VHF High band 144-176 MHz and UHF 460-512 MHz. Hope this helps.

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 think you mean VHF, yes you can. It's dual band, VHF: 136MHz-174MHz, UHF: 400MHz-480MHz (Rx/Tx). Hope that helps

Yes if your department is on vhf/uhf it should work fine until your department switches to a P25 type system

The connection to the vhf radio is different from a stereo. As far as I know you can't use it with a stereo.

yes it will work to a degree. i use a splitter in reverse to combine a UHF and a VHF antenna. there is signal loss!, but i can live with it. the antenna stores have splitters to combine specific frequencies/bands. it would pay to do some more research and perhaps contact a store to asses your specific intention.

The range depends on a number of factors. Frequency is one factor. A simple rule of the thumb is that the higher the frequency the shorter the range. So you get more range on VHF than on UHF. But UHF is better and penetrating walls. Another factor is the antenna. The stock antenna is pretty poor. You should always get a better antenna.Another factor is terrain. You can get some impressive distances with a clear line of sight. But obstructions will reduce the range.

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.

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

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

I would be very interested in a work around for this as well... would you be able to add a "combining splitter" (?) that would channel both a uhf antenna and a separate vhf antenna coax cables into single coax cable to the TV or Digital tuner?... that's the only thing I could think of, but I have no idea if it would work...

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

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 cannot receive any low band vhf signals. I am fairly close to the broadcasting and get 3 channels.

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.
