The Jack is "Easy to aim" Because it's a shotgun as opposed to a rifle The thing has a far wider "Beam width" on the main lobe.. Of course it comes with teh Sur-Lock which is a piece of junk in my expert opinion as well (yes I am a certified expert in this kind of thing).
The Sensar Pro makes the Sur Lock look like a child's toy as it does the same job MUCH MUCH better, provides far more user info and gives the user a bunch of options teh Sur-Lock does not have.
In lab testing the WORST a Batwing did (And that was a Sensar III or II without Wingman) was twice the signal of the Jack.. that was the WORST. Adding the wingman did much better and again teh Snesar pro improves it even more.
Oh, Beamwidth and Gain..
Think opera Glasses. perhaps 2 or 3 power But a WIDE field of vision
Now a nice set of Field Glasses. with say 10x or more magnification.. But a much narrower field at the same distance
Same with TV antennas. . Antenna GAIN is obtained by narrowing the beam width.. The sharper the "Focus" the greater the range.
