USES of a UHF TV Aerial (Group A - Red)
- A Grouped UHF TV aerial which covers the lower end UHF and is ideally suited to certain TV Transmitters
- If correctly selected for a transmitter it will give results:
- as good as a Grid TV aerial
- better than from a Wide band contract TV aerial
- Can be used with a diplexer and FM TV aerial to pick up UHF / FM broadcasts
ADVANTAGES of a UHF TV Aerial (Group A - Red)
- Will give excellent results on Group A UHF transmissions
- Very low cost compared to a grid TV aerial
- Can give good results even in very poor reception areas (if correct group).
- Takes up 30cm of pole space compared to 80cm for a Grid TV aerial, an issue when space is tight on your aerial pole
- May save on costs by requiring the addition of power units, amplifiers and distribution systems
DISADVANTAGES of a UHF TV Aerial (Group A - Red)
- Will perform extremely poorly if used on the wrong UHF Group
- This makes it inflexible if you are unsure which transmitter to use (see transmitter tab for guide)
