Hi all....anyone had experience with the winegard wingman and winegard sensar pro booster scanner....thx...bo

Yes! Lot's. Take a look here as a starting point.http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/27171026.cfmThe short story is the Wingman works. You will also find that the Sensar Pro (not tested in that article) works very well to properly point your Sensar plus add the secondary in-line amplifier to help bring in the weaker UHF signals.

I have had the old Wineguard antenna head and amplifier for quite a few years. A couple of years ago, I added the new (at the time) Wingman to the antenna which improved reception somewhat. Late last year, I added the Sensar Pro amplifier which made it easier to aim the antenna correctly.This year I added a new SensarIV antenna replacement head and am now equiped with the latest technology in RV antennas. This new head, combined with the Sensar Pro amplifier allows an easy way to aim the antenna to get the best reception. It draws in distant stations well and just takes a minute or less to get the antenna aimed for the station I want. I highly recommend it to anybody.:)Barney

The wingman got us about twice as many stations. Well worth it,especially for the $30 or so it costs. The only thing that bugs me is that with all the extra stations, a third or so of them are shopping channels or in a foreign language.The Sensarpro is nice too. I installed one on the wall below our TV. They are made to replace the basic amplifier/CATV jack/12 volt outlet. With the LED display and buttons, it's not great to have it on the ceiling where they typically put the basic amp. I ran 4 co-ax cables and 12 volt wiring from the original ceiling location inside the upper cabinet with radio/DVD player, into the wall, down to and across the dinette seat, and back up the wall. The ceiling cavity was extremely cramped due to the arched ceiling near the outer walls. I wanted to put it in sight of the antenna crank handle but couldn't get wiring anywhere close to the antenna. The beeping sound for aiming the antenna works very well. I keep the amp turned up to max. gain. I really like the all high def OTA digital stations but there is no programming schedule and you need to go onto the internet to find out what's comming up. Someone posted this link recently for finding out what stations you have locally and where to aim your antenna. TVFool.com
