Winegard "Wingman" option-does it help?
Winegard Sensar III option for adding the Wingman antenna looks easy to install. Has anyone installed this and did it help? The Sensar IV is a Sensar III with the additional antenna. Both digital ready.

The Wingman yagi conversion helps the Sensar UHF reception quite a bit, although it does make the antenna more directional. It does nothing for the already good VHF reception, nor is it meant to. Replacing the stock power injector with the SensarPro amplifier/signal meter adds even more reliability to the Sensar reception. Ignore any hype about "HD" or "digital" antennas, the radio signals don't know or care about either one. Signals are signals...
I agree completely. I would add that the Sensar Pro peak signal meter function combined with the Wingman added 10 or so channels at my house in a before and after test.- The Wingman yagi conversion helps the Sensar UHF reception quite a bit, although it does make the antenna more directional.

- yes it helped
- I installed one on our new Hurricane with a Sensar II antenna. It just replaced a few rubber plugs on the bottom of the antenna with the ones in the kit to hold the add-on in place. It seems to help with additional range and better VHF (2-13) performance.
