Can old style anntenea be replaced/upgraded to Star Trek type?
Just got a 2016 RSBS, still used the old style folding TV antennae, is it possible to change it to the newer Star Trek looking antennae ?
Is there an adapter kit available?
Has anyone done the conversion?

Hello
I have converted a old style crank up using a Batwing style By Jack.
It comes with a Booster .
Works very well. The kit bolted right on
You can use the original booster, but I seemed to get better signal
with the one from Jack. The only Issue it is 120 volt so I used the TV inverter
to Power it
Think I got it from PPL RV in Texas, Amazon has them also
Under $50.
Good Luck

I did the full King Jack replacement (removed the old Winegard batwing and replaced it with the King Jack with the integrated signal meter). I felt it was a vast improvement but others say the batwing does just as well. I like the signal meter as I was tired of trying to guess the direction of the towers, running the scan, finding out I wasn't pointed correctly and repeating the process again and again. There are several You Tube videos where others have made the full replacement like me. It was my first time using butyl tape and it was a hot summer day. In hindsight I needed to put the tape in the fridge first and cool it down. Other than that, it was an easy job--took about 2 hours taking my time.

This is what Jayco puts on all the new units. Winegard rayzar z1 4k uhd Amplified. I must say it does work very well.

That's what is supposed to come on the 195RB we have on order. I'm hoping it works better than the omni-directional one on our previous trailer. It was a round disc that couldn't be rotated. We soon learned that omni-directional meant equally poor in all directions...

I think I'm going to replace the existing Batwing with the new Wineguard Razar Z1.
Thanks Everyone.
