Replacing Crank up Antenna Suggestions?
Thinking about replacing our Crank up TV Antenna with a fixed Roof Mount TV Antenna. I've seen a few on campers going down the road that looks to to stand about a foot tall. As anybody else replaced...

SVC Jeff-Sorry you don't like my opinion. I said it is worthless without knowing the available channels. And by another post I am not alone.
As far as I am concerned it has shown me nothing more than adding one more thing to fail(which my 1st one did after just a few uses) and one more thing to draw power while boon docking.
For someone with your knowledge of this stuff I agree it may have worth. The average RV owner that thinks this is a miracle device to help find OTA channels without knowing what is where, will be disappointed.
Even on weak channels I have not seen any difference by adjusting the amp setting.
My old method of checking antenna web for channels and direction then turn the batwing that way, scan channels on TV and fine tune with the TV's built in signal strength meter worked just as well and was probably quicker.
