I love my Jack. So do many others. Mine pulls in 72 stations in my driveway. My old Batwing I was lucky to get 10? Yes it needs to be positioned properly, but with a compass and knowing where cities are it works great. I know of a few people personally that complained of bad reception with a Batwing. I told them about the jack and after they switched they were amazed at how well it pulled in stations. Well worth the money.
