I recently saw some information on a 'Jack' over the air digital antenna, and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with one. It comes with a base that does not require raising or lowering, and has a built in booster and rotator handle, as well as a signal strength meter.

I do like toe looks of this unit, and most of the Amazon reviews seem favorable, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with one themselves before laying out money on this unit.

Thanks for any input!

George,

I don't know anything about the antenna's performance, but some of the reviews I've read were positive. Here is the manufacturer's website:

George,

Funny this should be on here, I spent all yesterday reading reviews on the
Jack antenna, I don't have one but plan on it, my batwing is totally
destroyed and needs a new antenna. I also like the way it looks and would
remove one more thing not to forget to do before I go down the road (old
age) .
Camping World has them available for 139.99 (members) that is about what the
cost is on line if you include shipping.

Let me know if you get one and what you think.

After watching two other people install the Jack antenna while at Jim Bound's Coop and hearing them rave about it, I removed a brand new Winegard and installed one.
Not only is it a low profile and doesn't have to be raised and lowered, but it works GREAT. I am very happy with it!

Regards,
Tony

Tony,

Was it the flying saucer model Winegard?
