The Jack certainly has peaked my interest.
It seems I can purchase the antennae only and mount it to my existing Winegard Batwing mast.
By doing so I forego a highly desireable feature of the all in one unit that completly replaces the existing Wine
gard Batwing system and still have to raise and lower the antennae.
However the reason for replacing it is performance. Would being up higher by a few feet be of any performance increase that would be of significance?
The all in one unit has some very nice features also, that would be nice in addition to not having to raise and lower it, the signal strength meter and its ease of rotation.
One thing in the installation instuctions, it says you need to enlarge the existing hole in your roof if the slope is over 3 degrees. I assume they are refering to the Wingard installation.
I wonder what the slope is on the roof of our Journeys.
I personally favor the all in one unit unless, the extra height of the Winegard mast mounted unit offers any significant advantage.
