Tv antena
Hi, what is a good tv antena with good range that mounts on the roof
Forum Discussion
The first reply said it;s hard to beat one of these Batwing.
In fact the photo looks like a Winegard Sensar IV and .. When it comes to antennas designed for RV use.. it is not "hard to beat" that unit. it is impossible.. Both lab and field tests prove it is superior to anything else on the markewt.
But there is room for improvement.. Winegard makes a module called the Sensar Pro. If you have a wall plate with a switch, light, 12 volt outlet and antenna connection.. (The standard Winegard Wall plate) inside the RV this 100 dollar (About ) device relaces it, directly.. But is vastly superior.. it adds:
Signal seek and strength indicators
Ability to scan received carriers (see note below) and pick the one to peak on
Ability to MANUALLY select a carrier frequency and peak (or look for) it.
Adjustable GAIN from attuention to about 10db from what we think
Audio feed back (Also adjustable volume, mine is set to ZERO)
Makes it very easy to "Aim" the antenna and imroves signal quality once you are on target.
If like me, you have a matrix switch instead of the wall plate.. Still works (I should know) ask if you have issues understanding how to install it.
