I see this will pick up VHF channels. Will it pick up the low band of Channel 6 VHF or just the higher bands starting at 8 and higher

I dont know what exact channels it will receive but we are very happy with results and never put ours in a prime location. It just behind our couch so you cant see it but gives us enough channels when storms knock out internet. Very impressed with this product and just use for a back up.

Hi, KJC. I purchased this antenna for a home on a lake. I went directly to the Mohu website and entered in my zip code. It gave me a decent idea what stations I could receive. There is also a few websites that can help you get an idea what stations broadcast from your area. Try the following: www.antennaweb.org; www.fcc.gov; www.antennapoint.com; www.tvfool.com or www.antenna.tv. They will help you to understand what stations transmit the closest to your area. I purchased this antenna after some research. I am very happy with the quality of the reception and the number of stations. You might have to play with it a bit but it works great.

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

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.

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.

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 will cover the 88-108 Mhz Band, however it is optimized for the FCC Broadcast channels including the now obsolete lower VHF Channels. The needed FM Band Splitter would also result in a minimal attenuation of the TV Signals being passed thru to TVs. This thing works GREAT as it is designed. A separate independent FM Band Yagi would produce the best performance.

This antenna is not tuned for channels 2-6, the booms are tuned for channel 7 and above. However, almost all television stations that your TV translates as 2-6 are actually broadcast on a higher channel. Example: where I live, channel 3.1 is broadcast on 42.8 and channel 4.1 is really 33.1, but my televisions see them on the original channels - 3.1 and 4.1. Therefore this antenna works correctly for all full strength broadcasts. Also, it picks up FM signals very well because they are between channel 6 and 7, but because the antenna is directional you might find that radio stations broadcast from a different direction actually get worse rather than better.

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.

I use this to pick up over-the-air HD TV signals and nothing but that. Perhaps you should check out this site: https://www.antennasdirect.com/tv-antenna-selector.htmlThe product description identifies this item as a long range HDTV antenna and I can tell you that it works VERY well for that purpose. We pick up HD TV signals from boradcast towers as far away as 30-40 miles. Your question regarding FM or VHF would probably be better answered by Antennas Direct themselves.

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.

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.

Mine picks up channels. Coverage and channels available depend on where you live.

This is a VHF HIGH and UHF antenna, so it doesn't receive channels 2 through 7 (VHF LOW). But very few stations actually use VHF LOW these days. For example, in the Indianapolis area, we have Ch 6 that shows as (virtual) 6.1, but their physical channel # is 25. Of around 100 channels within 80 or so miles, not one is VHF LOW anymore. If your TV scanned for channels, and whatever is supposed to be on 3 isn't there, you might have one of the few VHF LOW stations still around. You can check a website like Rabbitears dot info for a very detailed list of your areas stations. Only if your ch. 3 is actually above 7, could the mast height be the problem, but there are a LOT of possibilities. ... Good luck to you. :)

Did you select TV Antenna before the scan?IF the TV is scanning looking for Cable channels, it will only find the VHF Channels (Ch 2+13).On air channels above channel 13 are not the same frequency as Cable channels.Hope this helps...................

I haven't had any luck with high VHF channels with this antenna. An amplified leaf antenna did better.

Thanks. This is the same info I received from Mohu.I did purchase one. I am about 35 miles from Philadelphia. I am able to get the VHF channel 6 (ABC) if I rotate the antenna 90 degrees.

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!

after scanning, it will pick up stations in your local area. we get 5 or 6 air channels here depending on location in house/building. the magnetic antenna works good in car too. bought mine about 4 years ago.

This preamp can only be used on one antenna at a time. It will amplify signals in the HDTV (vhf/uhf) frequency range for any antenna designed for this range.
