King jack antenna
Would like to know some opinions on replacing my batwing antenna with the new jack king antennas. And if you have the one with the signal finder do you need to run power to it on the roof??

The Jack provides great reception. My rig came with a Jack installed from the factory.
The downside is the Jack is more vulnerable to limb damaged vs. a typical crank up. My Jack has been knocked off by limbs twice.
Another downfall of the Jack is that it can rotate too far a snap the flimsy internal coax. When this coax breaks you have to remove the entire unit and reinstall.
I like the reception the jack provides, however in hindsight I believe there are better more durable options.
