[QUOTE="gary350, post: 52604, member: 5449"]I am not saying I want to connect this exact 6 meter tuner for a TV. I am say will a tuner designed to work on TV frequencys work on a TV antenna? I guess I forgot to mention I have a VHF antenna too. The frequencies I want to receive are. VHF channel 4 = RF-10 at 192-198 MHz VHF channel 5 = RF-5 at 76-82 MHz VHF channel 8 = RF-8 at 180-186 MHz UHF channel 17 = RF-15 at 476-482 MHz UHF channel 2 = RF-27 at 548-554 MHz UHF channel 30 = RF-21 at 512-518 MHz UHF channel 28 = RF-36 at 602-608 MHz UHF channel 5 = RF-50 at 586-692 MHz I plan to connect the CM4228 to the UHF connection of the preamp I plan to connect the VHF antenna to the VHF connection of the preamp. I plan to connect one 75 ohm coax cable form the preamp to the power supply. I plan to connec one 75 ohm coax cable from PS to TV. I hope that makes it clear now. I thought an antenna tuner tuned the antenna to make a perfect match to the frequency that is trying to be received. Maybe I am wrong about that. I am a builder and a pack rat.
