FM Reception On UHF/VHF Antenna

Postby Mac on Wed Jul 01, 2009 7:28 pm

I am looking at a Winegard HD 7696P antenna for use with DTV and am having troubles finding information on how well this outdoor UHF/VHF directional antenna will provide reception for FM radio signals. I intend to split it as the cable enters the house. How much problem will the split be? Does anyone have any info or tach advise on this? I am looking at this one because it is the only quality antenna the local vendor has. thanks - Mac

The HD-7696p won't do very well on FM: if FM is a necessity for you, add a small FM yagi like an AntennaCraft FM-6 antenna below the HD-7696P, connect the two antennas via a joiner-splitter, and distribute the FM signal along with the TV signal over the same coaxial cable...
