No, as Tom was saying the output of the converter is on channel 3 or 4, like a vhs tape player recorder is or was. You would have to tune your radio tho that channel, leave it there and tune the new digital tv stations with the converter box.

only if the radio is able to decode uhf, for if it is a 3-13 channel TV radio; it won't know what to do with the signal, right?

They may continue to call themselves channel 4 or 5 or such but will actually be broadcasting on a u h f channel.. If your radio has a coax connector to a antenna now you could get one of the converter boxes and hook it up. Or itf your radio has any provisions for a external antenna some form of adapter with a converter box could work. > Ron > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Dave Mitchell > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 8:58 AM > Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Analog TV bands on Radio > > > > > > Greetings All: If I understand the situation correctly , soon the analog TV bands on my radios will lose their accessibility due to the forthcoming switch to TV all digital broadcasts. > If this is correct as stated, is their a gadget or work-around that would continue to give me access to this TV band after the transition to the digital broadcasts? > Thanks for the education, Mitch > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
