What is a wideband aerial?

Some aerials (grouped aerials) are designed to cover a specific set of frequencies within the UHF band. Wideband aerials are designed to cover the entire UHF band and will work with all UK frequencies provided the signals are strong enough.

You may need a wideband aerial to receive all available channels from a main transmitter.
