Jack antenna full install replace crank up

This may sound silly, but take a look at the fuse box and use an ohm meter to ensure that the fuse is not blown. With the signal booster ON, you may see an illuminated LED in the fuse box. That would indicate a blown fuse, but only if there's a load on the circuit. The LED in the fuse box passes a little bit of current which is enough to light up your signal booster LED and perhaps fool your volt meter.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply. I will check the fuse at the fuse box, but as I said I do have 12.6 volts up on top on the coax where the Jack antenna is mounted. I would think if I have a blown fuse, there would be no voltage there....

Thanks for the link! So this replacement will work fine with my existing powered antenna power supply (Winegard batwing is what I think I have)? I like this option better than the full Jack replacement with crank and post because the extra height on the crank up gets the antenna up above the nearby AC unit.

Anyone aware of comparison done between the Jack and Winegard Rayzor?

Wondering if the reception is any better, or are you just getting an "automatic" antenna.

Here is a link to the King/Jack antenna at Camping World:

I bought mine in the store, but they matched their online website price.

I have the Jack replacement head and it works great with the built it power booster that came with my Gateway. Took 5 minutes to install. It picks up twice as many channels as the original batwing.
