Antenna Signal Meter

[Hornnumb2]

Wanted to get one of these to aid in getting the antenna in the right direction, is there any certain one that is recommended for camping? Thanks Michael

Any reason the sensar pro would not work with the Jack? That way is mounted in the wall and wired. Thanks

My Jack has one built in.

The Surelock Roy posted is popular and I think around $39 and is a good basic signal strenght meter. I've got the Winegard Sensar Pro (around $68 on Amazon) which has digital readout and a few more features like number of channels available on seek, and adjustable dB gain. It is a direct replacement for your existing Winegard plate.

Check your TV menu it may have a built in signal meter for stations. I have seen several TV's that do.

Thanks for all the suggestion, I am using a Jack antenna. Michael

I use "antenna point.com". put in the zip code, and it gives me a distance and heading, then with a cheap compass, or "compass app" on your phone, point your antenna in that direction.
It's free.

I use the SURELOCK SL1000 Digital TV Signal FInder to find the NATL BROADCAST TV Stations and the WINEGARD SF1000 SAT Tone Meter to find the SATELLITE SIGNALs in the southern skies...


I'm sure there are different units available but these two work just find of us to locate our OTA Signals...

If you have a Winegard TV antenna you might want to look into replacing the power supply box with the Winegard Sensar Pro. I just swapped out mine and it was a simple thing to do, except I had to enlarge the wall opening just a tad. It has built in signal booster.

X2 (except for Android!). I can fine tune the channel using the signal meter on the television.

Antenna for what?
