Any freq is fine but the yagi size and RF level dropping off over increasing
distance is the limiting factors......Most TVI locators made by Sprague used
a yagi cut to around 216MHz.....though I did use a TV 2 yagi for some
serious TVI finding....Yes, use AM...(Can you believe some folks try FM
???!)
