Rayzar Air HD TV antenna

It will be interesting to see the performance data on the Rayzar Air when SCVJeff gets a chance to give it a workout. Other than that, it looks like one advantage will be that the directional arrow on the inside of the lift assembly actually points in the same direction as the antenna, rather than 90 degrees off. :W

What do I use? Sensar II with wingman and Sensar Pro upgrades.

NOTE: another thing this antenna is an "Indoor" antenna in most cases (Though it can be mounted outside) and .. HEIGHT IS MIGHT.. I personally proved that some years past.

I think you might be referring to the Razar antenna and not the new Razar Air. The Razar Air is NOT an indoor antenna. It is designed to be mounted to the same crank assembly used by the Batwing. It only uses and needs one arm outside. You can use your current setup after removing one arm or you can install the slightly shorter arm that comes with the setup.

The antenna looks tempting.

I might buy the replacement-head version to replace my Winegard III/Wingman.

It should be easy enough to test with my R.S. inline amplifier. If I see no improvement I can always switch back. Loosing the blind spot (due to rotation requirements) should improve usage. The new design may improve signals over the whole spectrum.

I notice they have dropped VHF-Lo, there still are VHF-Lo stations, not as many as there used to be, but they still exist.
I like that it cranks up. Height matters.

My -guess- is it will perform similar to the Jack on a crank-up
