Rv tv aerial to run a uhf

Hi Gold Hunter

The short answer is No.

All antennas are designed to pick up different frequencies in most cased today, your atavistic reception will be Digital and UHF.

No. Antenna are manufactured to a specific length to transmit the signal at a specific wave length. Using a antenna that is he incorrect length may receive but won't be as good as it could and can lead to damaging the radio if you try and transmit.

Want to get to sleep early? have a read... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_length

As I once possibly understood it, UHF antennas are built to ideally satisfy channel 40 (of the 80)...the other channels 'make do' with a near compromise. A 600mm wire is best for distance over the plains, while a 150mm stubby (1/4 wave) has good penetration in undulating terrain, but shorter on distance. But, I'm no technician.

Thx everyone, guess I will need to put a 'real' UHF arial somewhere on the caravan, any suggestions as to the best location.
