Dipole antenna Maximum UHF14 20641/001, frequency range 470–862 MHz

The Maximum UHF14 dipole antenna (model 20641/001) is designed for reception across the UHF band from 470 to 862 MHz. It provides a focused antenna element optimized for terrestrial TV and other UHF services, offering stable signal pickup for indoor and outdoor installations. The antenna is suitable for rooftop mounting and for locations where improved reception is needed to reduce signal loss and enhance picture and audio quality.

Advantages

The antenna covers a wide UHF frequency range (470–862 MHz), enabling reception of multiple television channels and UHF services without retuning. Its dipole design delivers directional reception with improved gain and reduced interference from unwanted directions. Constructed for mounting on masts or rooftops, the unit supports stable mechanical installation and consistent performance in variable coverage areas. The antenna’s focused element helps to minimize signal degradation and supports clearer audio and video output when paired with compatible transmission lines and receivers.

Suitable for

• Receiving terrestrial digital and analogue TV signals in the UHF band
• Rooftop or mast installations for home or small commercial properties
• Improving reception in areas with marginal or fluctuating signal strength
• Use with set-top boxes, digital TVs, and UHF scanners

Key specifications

• Frequency range: 470–862 MHz (UHF band)
• Antenna type: dipole, directional
• Intended mounting: mast or rooftop installation
• Primary use: terrestrial TV and UHF signal reception
• Environmental suitability: outdoor-capable design for exposed installations

How to use

Mount the dipole antenna on a suitable mast or rooftop bracket where line-of-sight to broadcast transmitters is maximized. Orient the antenna in the direction of the desired signal source to benefit from its directional reception. Connect the antenna to your TV, set-top box, or receiver using an appropriate coaxial cable and ensure all connectors are weatherproofed for outdoor use. After installation, perform a channel scan on the receiver to detect available services and fine-tune the antenna direction if necessary to optimize signal level and quality.

Recommendations

Position the antenna as high as practical and clear of obstructions such as tall buildings or trees. Use high-quality coaxial cable and properly shielded connectors to reduce signal loss. If reception remains weak, consider adding a compatible low-noise amplifier near the antenna or checking for local interference sources. Regularly inspect mounting hardware and cable seals to maintain long-term performance.
