Yes. However, tuning accuracy will be limited and more difficult than with a cell phone in TEST MODE. If your cell phone does not have a test mode, the signal strength bars may be the only way to tune your Yagi. Bear in mind that signal bars are more a marketing tool than a true signal-strength indicator.
