Any antenna can receive anything, but not very well unless it's
the correct length for the frequency you're trying to receive.
Yes, this antenna will work well so you will not need a special FM only antenna.

Will a 27mhz cb antenna work on your uhf cb radio?
No, this is not a wise move to make. The antenna metals are not the same. you have to know that antenna metals are different within all Mhz. 2nd- The connectors are different. CB has a wider coax connector and Uhf us smaller. Radio Range/ distance will be less if you use a short wave antenna known as CB. Best to get a High wave antenna- UHF. 27 Mhz is cb radio and the waves are low and long (about 11 meters). 400-460 Mhz is UHF and the waves are high and short (about 67 centimeters). You would need a UHF radio antenna to get the best SWR. Installing a UHF antenna on a car it would require a proper uhf antenna and coax and drilling and using only a UHF Coax cable with the connector. Or buy the Uhf magnet antenna. They are hard to find in your local city and they are pricy because you cant buy them used or at cb shops. you will have to buy one online or go to a Junk yard and find a Police car that has one on top of car. You can Mod Coax cables only if its a UHF cable and antenna. Grounding a car UHF antenna in house can be difficult. Don't run ground to AC ground! you can damage radio. Run Ground wire to the dirt outside and dig a hole and fix with a little water and keep hot coax separated from ground on uhf. Best is to run this to Gutter on roof. Do not MOD CB coaxes with UHF antenna or mix with magnet antenna or CB, VHF, Marine radios. You will waste your time. 800 Mhz police antenna will be your closest match if you decide to do this. It goes by the wave and wave length. Keep Digging
What does the term uhf cb radio mean?
UHF CB radio is a type of personal radio in Australia. It stands for UHF Citizen's Band radio and operates similar to that of a two-way radio without any licensing fees.
Waves used for broadcastig radio signals are called what?
The waves used to broadcast radio signals are called RF waves and these generally lie in VHF and UHF band of electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the Motorola UHF radio famous for?
Motorola UHF radio is most famous for its ability to transmit radio in tow possible directions. This technology allows for communication as well as ease of listening.
Why does tv use radio waves?
because on the em spectrum, radio waves are the lowest. if a tv used a higher raadioactive source like uv and you were exposed to it to much (by watching to much tv) you could get cancer and die unfortunately.

Can a uhf antenna pick up vhf signals as well?
Yes, a UHF antenna can pick up VHF signals, but not well. The size difference makes the uhf antenna "inefficient" for the longer vhf wave length, but some energy can be received by the uhf antenna.
Explain application of uhf yagi antenna?
A YAGI UHF antenna is made to be very directional and receive all the UHF frequencies better than any others. In the US, some digital stations are still on the upper VHS band, channels 7 to 13. More info can be found at www.tvfool.com.
Do tv's have short wavelengths?
TV broadcast signals are in the VHF & UHF radio bands, shorter than most of the radio bands but longer than the microwave band.
What is a horn antenna?
A horn antenna is an antenna that consists of a flaring metal waveguide shaped like a horn to direct radio waves in a beam. Horn antennas are used as antennas at UHF and microwave frequencies that are above 300 MHz.
Does digital broadcast tv have same reception range as analog?
Analog tv now uses mostly vhf-uhf frequencies for the standard network TV. UHF was added in the 60s for local urban TV signals with the addition of another tuner years ago. Any ham radio operator who has played with VHF 2 meters, or uhf , 450 mhz up, knows that UHF has significantly reduced range and is reduced to mostly line of site reception. So guess what sports fans, rural users , with their shiny new converter boxes hooked up to vhf antennas are SCREWED!!! Unless you get an extended range UHF antenna , you will not get TV. You may not get digital TV either if you are too far from UHF digital transmission even with a new uhf "digital' antenna. So, this whole thing is going to cause CHAOS to many rural and other users. Real good planning guys! Million of Americans will have no TV.....!!!!! Stay tuned for the fun on Feb 17, 2009!!@!!! The following is a update. Actually, there is no such thing as a digital antenna, all antennas are the same but a better antenna is one with a amplifier built in and mounted on the antenna itself. This helps the HDTV receive a stronger signal. An exception would be if you can see the transmitting tower from you location, no amplifier is needed. Always buy the VHF/UHF antenna with highest gain you can mount.
What is a digital antenna?
A digital antenna is a device that allows the user to receive digital television signals from varying distances, depending on where they live. There are three main varieties of basic indoor antennas that will allow the user with a strong television signal to receive digital signals. These are the UHF, VHF and combined UHF/VHF. There are other models for homes that receive weaker signals, including those designed for placement outside of the home.
What is communication system of the aircraft?
Generally speaking, VHF or UHF radio. VHF is also used to communicate with ground personnel (heli logging, SAR, firefighting, etc). The 'system' consists of a radio, antenna cable, and external antenna. an intermediate antenna switch can be used to allow multiple radios of the same band to use the same external antenna.

Will a plasma TV work with an antenna?
A plasma TV set is just like any other TV set on the market. It can accept video/audio signals from an VHF/UHF antenna if it has an aerial VHF/UHF antenna input. It can also accept DVB-C or DVDB-S or DVB-T through the same antenna input. You have to refer to the manual that came with your plasma TV set to see what types of signals it can receive through its antenna input.
Should you use UHF antenna with digital converter box or VHF?
You need a VHF/UHF antenna (channels 2 to 60 ). Check out: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html
