I like it so much that when my roof was being replaced, I told the factory not to put the omni directional (fixed) bat-wing style ant back up there.
Confusing post :@ - the so-called "bat wing" antenna such as the Winegard Sensar III or IV is not omni directional but directional and must be rotated for best reception.
For anyone interested this is the Jack Antenna vs Winegard Sensar Comparison Test by SVCJeff that was referred to earlier.
Yeah, that's why I said bat wing "style". It wasn't a traditional BW because it was fixed but it looked like one. It couldn't be raised or turned.
Here's the original ant:

I did side by side comparisons between the traditional BW on our last TT and a new Jack and there was no comparison, the Jack blew it out of the water. That's why I had them leave this new omni thing off. I believe any omni can be beat by a directional.
It really shouldn't have been put right next to the AC either.
