Winnegard Rayzar automatic

I have a Jack antenna. It is the second for me. I have not been pleased with it in my previous motorhome or in my current. I don't get reception when others do with less sophisticated crank up antenna's. I am thinking about splurging for the Winnegard Rayzar fully automatic. Any thoughts or experience?

    Be sure to check all of your coax cables, at both ends, before you change anything. A bad cable will not help a new antenna get any better reception.

    If you are near, within 20 mi., major cities, no problem. As Smitty77 stated further away the Sensor works better. We are currently 45-47 mi. from Seattle, my neighbor gets "A few" OTA with his auto Winegard, or Sensor gets 16 stations.

    We have the Automatic, and it works well. We also had the Sensar IV installed, so that I would have a rising arm to install our 14" non flexible WiFi Antenna and Ubiquity too for horizontal traveling. Had the shop A/B switch the install of the Automatic and the Sensar IV, so if we ever find we're just on the fringe go what he Automatic an pull in, I have the Sensar IV available. It does have the ability to pull in stations from a bit further distance...

    If I did not want to have a raisable mast, I would have just run with the Automatic. Slick install, and good easy to understand lights to help you tune channels.

    Best,
