I may have screwed up. I thought I had a Winegard Batwing antenna and bought a Winegard Wingman intending to improve UHF reception and a Winegard Sensar Pro TV signal strength meter.When I got the coach home I found out that I have a Braund Concord 90 Electric Antenna.Is it possible to use the Wingman and Sensar Pro with the Concord antenna?

No, it is not. The Concorde does not have the same electronics in the head that are in the Winegard so it will not be of any value. I replaced my Concorde with an electric Winegard but they are no longer available directly from Winegard but might be available from your RV manufacturer.

The Wingman is just a passive snap-in wave guide, it will work with any batwing antenna that is roughly the same shape as the Winegard antenna ... attaching it is the tricky part?x2 for what Bill says about The Sensar Pro amp.

Yes it is possible. the electronics in the head are actually not affected by or affect the Wingman at all. it only affects the "Antenna"The only issue is mounting.. I don't know if the needed holes are there."There is no electrical connection between the wingman and the existing parts of the antenna, it only affects the RF (Radio Frequency) pattern of the antenna.. Too much to explain here but I design and build antennas it is a "Director Array" and is not electrically connected to anything.

Velco, 3m surface mount tape, epoxy, screws, wire tiesany thing that will hold the wingman in place, and it will increase UHF receptionbut i think your out of luck with pro meter/amplifier, the BatWings have the amplifier electronics in the headtry an add on amplifier that runs from 120v, inside between the antenna lead and the TV, i have an Emerson amplifier plugged into the power strip that powers the TV, it has served me well for several years, except for visiting Quartzitethere are better ones out there, but i can't tell you which ones

Thanks everyone for your input. I called Winegard and the the tech said regarding the wingman it will not work, but when I mentioned there are no electronics to attach the tech said if you can get it to fit it may work.The tech also said the SensarPro will work. She said the amp in the antenna (Concord 90) helps acquire the signal and the amp in the SensarPro boosts the signal.I wish I knew more about antenna's. I'm going on the coach roof today to see if I can somehow connect the wingman. What do you guys say about the SensarPro? Still shouldn't try it??
