JACK Antenna problems - HELP!!!

Hey guys,

So I just got my brand new JACK Antenna the full replacement one that replaced my stock antenna on my camper due to it getting into a fight with a tree and lost.

So I got everything installed, sealed up. Wen't inside and NO SIGNAL! The blue lights on the Sure Lock come on, and in front of my house I'm able to get 3-4 LEG's to light up. Do a channel scan and not 1 channel. Tried it in a couple different locations and nothing.

Checked my connections at the wall jack and they seem good. I know its getting power to the antenna head because the LED's are coming on.

I know there are mixed reviews on this antenna but it seems nice, just wondering if you guys know of something to check / test etc ?

Thank's for any help :)

  • Silly question, but you never mentioned if or how many channels you got on the old antenna or in the house?
    The Surelock can be fooled by Local FM transmitters and other local RF so it's not a guarantee that TV is what you are seeing on the LED's.
  • Dont really Know, but the directions say to and when I didn't I had a problem.
  • I have not had any problem with mine except when I forgot to turn off the Sure Lock before scanning for channels on the TV.
