Yep! You are absolutely correct. It will likely require that everyone move back to a Sensar "style" antenna as the frequencies change moving forward. The problem stems from our ignorant Government representatives who have no idea how any of their decisions effect us common folk.

The OEM will usually go for cheap if it can do essentially the same job. Even if the units retailed for the same price the OEM pricing will likely be set somewhat lower than the Jack to regain market and the installation would be substantially quicker (cheaper) making it a very good choice for the OEM. Very few RVers are savvy enough about the OTA antenna mounted on their coach to question it prior to purchase.

You must build what the market demands even when it does not perform as well as another. "If you build it they will come". Just watch the OEM's flock to this as it will be cheap and easy to install. The OEM's do not care about performance. If they did they would never have started installing the Jack.

I wonder how good its VHF-Lo performance is...
On edit: Maybe they answered the question for me. "Optimal UHF reception with strong High-Band VHF..."
