You obviously replaced a broken antenna. A working Batwing will easily match that
With the Jack® you'll lose most of your VHF-hi stations and ALL of your VHF-low stations.
And what would those be? I have all the same stations now that used to be around before digital! I have the stations that i've always known as VHF and UHF. Not missing any.
As for a broken batwing, then it was broken since day one, and my buddy's has also been broken then since 06 ( when he bought his trailer new). He doesn't get any either.
As for the antenna, it's entirely possible you had a bad antenna since day one, who knows. What I do know it that the Jack doesn't perform as well as the Batwing on any band, and not at all on VHF-Lo as Paul mentioned. The best thing about the Jack is its size. That's also one of the reasons it lags behind the Batwing in performance, but it also fits places the Batwing won't go.
