YC1 - Based on your installation experience, I take it that both antenna lead and power lead are both accessible on the rooftop and this is essentially a case of mounting the Jack antenna and then plug and play? IOW is there any "invasive surgery" required?
Antenna and power lead are all-in-one coax cable.
No Surgery required.
The swap is simple as:
Disconnect (unscrew) cable from batwing.
Remove pins that secure the batwing antenna head
Mount Jack antenna with same pins
Connect cable
Pins are held in place with "C" clips. Easy to loose if you drop them.
We have a piece of lake property in Minnesota. Reception was / is very bad. Used to get one channel with batwing. With the "jack" antenna, we get four.
