King Jack HD RV antenna
Does anyone have a King Jack antenna on there RV? If so is it really better than the one that comes on the RV (Bat Wing)?
Forum Discussion
Many have it..Some swear by it, and under certain conditions yes under others no
Ran a side by side.. Jack got 4 stations, I got 5
I have Batwing + Wingman + Sensar pro
The Jack is a decent UHF antenna, Roughly equal to the Batwing... THe Batwing is better at VHF,, The jack has a wider "Beam Width" so if you have stations all around you (or scattterd in one quadrant)it will do better.
The Batwing WITH WINGMAN has a much narrower beam width,, Thus it can see farther.. (Which is how I rate them, how far can thy see)
The Sensar Pro (Which might work with the Jack as well) adds a host of additional features that are really nice.
A forum member did an indepndent lab side by side of them,, Using very expensive lab hardware to measure the performance.. NOTHING sold for RVs beats the Wingard Sensar IV.
There are better antennas.. but not for RV (Channel Master sells one that I think is over 20 feet long and over 10 feet wide.. Put it on top of a 100 foot mast and that's one heck of an antenna.. Not, however, practical for RV use)
