Jayco TV antenna

BTW, if you want to upgrade the pos antenna with simple installation, the KING JACK or the WINEGARD RAZAR Omni directional antennas would be a better choice.

If you want the gold standard, the Winegard Sensar (batwing style) is the way to go. It's a crank-up antenna that you can rotate. Installation is a bit more involved if you want to go down that road.

You realize you need to scan for channels from the TV when you turn the antenna booster on, right? The TV will then grab as many stations as it can. On most antennas you turn the booster off for park cable

I do know that and I know about booster, thing is this antenna has got to be the worst one I have had to date.

Omnidirectional antennas are a joke, especially in fringe reception areas, which seems to include many campgrounds. RVs come with them because RV manufacturers are cheap. If you want good reception when camping in remote places get a Winegard Sensar IV.

I don't understand why you need documentation. It is a simple cheap omnidirectional Antenna. There are no user settings or ways to change its operation. Doug

So Doug when you said you went out to your 2020's on the lot so are you and employee of a dealership? Just curious as if you are then if someone asks about the television do you just say on or off just a simple reciever, radio same thing, stove, pump heck all of the stuff in an RV according to you statement is cheap no instructions needed. I am one of those people who like to know a product and how it functions maybe too many years in a the digital electronics world but I guess that is my problem. Good luck to you and your endeavors in life it is after all you are born you live you die simple on off no directions needed.

I'm assuming that it probably rotates from the inside, or am I wrong about that? I thought maybe you didn't know that it rotates
-if it does. I think that's what Doug means when he says that's all there is to know. Don

I am a technician(40 years). I understand you want documentation. But, it is not needed once you have the parameters. At this point you and I have more knowledge on this Antenna than probably anybody in the USA including Jayco. Doug

You sir are probably correct on the knowledge part, well except the person in customer service who finally got me sent in right direction and telling me it was a Steiner Industries product and not a Steinert Technologies product. Like I have said 37 years of having documentation on every bit of equipment we used that I am used to having it. Hey I did read how to thermostat, the charming Dometic one that everyone seems to have problems with have read that thru and understand it, even so far as the communication cable between it and the A/C and furnace having to communicate. I appreciate your assistance.
