It works with signals within a 45 to 65 mile radius, so it suits homes that sit at a fair distance from the transmitter or that struggle with weaker reception. The high gain, low noise amplifier gives you 36dB of gain to help pull in a usable picture where a passive aerial might fall short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get two aerials in one unit. The adjustable loop handles UHF TV signals and both pans and tilts, so you can angle it for the best reception in your room. Two 728mm telescopic antennas cover VHF and FM radio, and you can extend and position these separately. A variable gain control knob on the unit lets you dial the amplification up or down by hand, and a power LED shows you when the aerial is running. An integrated LTE filter helps keep 4G and 5G mobile signals from interfering with your TV picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from 230Vac at 50Hz, or 12Vdc at 50mA, and the aerial draws only 50mA in use. It works across UHF (470 to 694MHz) and VHF (40 to 230MHz) frequencies with a 75 ohm impedance to match standard coax. The unit measures 195 x 144 x 230mm, weighs 500g and comes with a 1.2m lead. Because reception in any given spot depends on your location and how close you are to the transmitter, we'd suggest trying it in a few positions to find where the signal is strongest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency range : UHF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e470-694MHz(5G)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency range : VHF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40-230MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75 Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReception distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 65 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mA @12Vdc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230Vac, 50Hz or 12Vdc 50mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLead length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e195mm x 144mm x 230mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.50KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/120503UK_ec027cde-b6d3-4160-93d5-05edb409926e.pdf?v=1784957621\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far from the transmitter will this aerial work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's rated for signals within roughly a 45 to 65 mile radius.
