Replacing the Crank-up Winegard with New Omnidirectionl Model

[acstokes]

There's an iPhone app called TV Towers-USA that shows a map of over-air TV stations and their direction in relation to your location. Works well and saves having to search for them by rotating your antenna. Also, shows network affiliations and call letters. This one or others may also be available for other phone brands...I'm not sure.

With the SensarPro meter I'd have to cut another hole in my wall for the coax connector. Too bad they don't have a model that integrates the coax connector.

That's the main reason for getting the device.

It works!

Just to clarify, the Jack is not omni-directional, you can rotate it about 359 degrees and watch the picture on the tv as well as the signal strength change.

Thanks. I guess I was a bit confused about that. Do the ones that are mounted on what appears to be a rigid pedestal rotate?
