Since the specified requirement is for UHF plus only the high band of VHF,
it sure seems obvious that the intention was to have a combination antenna
that does not have any (useless in most markets after DTV transition) of
the long elements for low band VHF (channels 2-5) (or FM).

But apparently some UHF antennas do a reasonably good job at VHF-high.
I've not actually tested this ... just repeating with others say.

Not everyone would necessarily know of all of these. There are some other
antenna makers that may or may not be reputable. And of course the glut of
retail resellers (quite many of them surely disreputable) pollutes online
search efforts.

To that end, I do believe that asking here for help after a reasonable
search is done, is prudent. If one had found such antennas, the probably
would never ask, unless it was to ask for advice on which to buy. Likely,
none were found. But the cause of a negative search is not always clear,
as there are many factors that can cause this, ranging from poor choice of
keywords by the searcher, to obscure availability by a smaller
manufacturer. Thus, I believe it is reasonable to ask. Such a thread can
also spur discussions on things like alternatives (e.g. using a UHF
antenna to get VHF-high, or the feasibility of combining 2 separate
antennas), and market issues (is it practical for a manufacturer to make
any), which may be interesting and informative to quite a number of people.
I've sure you'd have a suggestion of another forum to ask in.

| I do not believe that Antenna MFGRS have yet to 'name/advertise' a

|
| There are a few web sites on antenna performance thru GOOGLE...
|
| That tell you by graph that a Channel Master 4228 UHF does cover

|

Digital channels 2-6 will exist in continental US as well. Have a look:

Probably won't happen. However, you can buy a hi-band VHF Yagi which can
easily be coupled to UHF only antenna.
