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.
How can you connect an antenna to uhf and vhf to get both uhf and vhf on tv at the same time?
First, you need an antenna that is both uhf and vhf comaptible. Usuaully it will have a pair of rabbit ears (vhf) and a center loop or plate (uhf). Make sure the rabbit ears are completely extended then just re-scan your channels on your digital box or your hdtv.

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

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.

How do you connect a wire from a walkie talkie atenna to a head phone jack in a walkman?
Answer: # Why you want to connect antenna from walkie-talkie to mini jack in walkman??? # Two-way radio antennas has got standard connector plugs (UHF, BNC, N-Type, Mini UHF, etc). Mini Jack plug is not used for antenna connection. # Two-way radio antenna is usually piece of wire or steel rod. The antenna cable has got positive wire in the middle, and grounded shield (screen) around. Signal goes to / from antenna through the wire in the middle to the receiver / transmitter. Screen/shield protects the signal from radiating out the wire. # Answer: Use proper cable and proper plugs and sockets, if you need to send or receive good signal to / from your walkie talkie. Do not use mini jack plug for this purpose, it will not work good.
