The C5 was designed for the purpose of VHF 7-13 reception, usually as a complement to an existing UHF antenna. After we were selling it for a while, we were finding that a good number of customers were returning the UHF antenna and saying that the C5 was doing the job by itself. We then had the design engineer go back and run new simulations to characterize the UHF performance for the C5. These simulations are included in the Tech Data Sheet listed under "Documents" on the product page for the C5 on our website.
I generally characterize that C5 as being "long-range on high-VHF, short-medium range on UHF" with its UHF performance somewhat resembling that of an imperfect omni antenna.
As an example, the St Louis market in which our office is located is an all-UHF city. We've only had one antenna on the roof of our building for the last year - a C5.
Hopefully this clarifies the descriptions you've seen about the C5. Please note that we are not the Amazon seller and have no input onto their listings of our products. We already have our hands full trying to keep our own website updated - a project which never ends and always has room for improvement.
