I have been looking for a permanent TV antenna solution. Something that requires know adjusting or positioning. Just turn on the TV and watch when ever I am in range. I found one that is Omni directional 360* is a little smaller than others I found and less than half the price at $45. I wanted to mount it on the roof but not to the roof. With this antenna and the included bracket I was able to attach it to the AC roof vent. Know need to drill hole in the roof. The antenna cable can be feed along the keder rail to the antenna jack. This antenna also includes a 12 volt powered booster. I cut off the 110v to 12v converter and tapped into the 12v source at the back of the TV

Sorry, no techie here. My current antenna is a non powered one on a painter pole. I just hook the cable to the connection, turn on tv and find stations by “air”. Not happy. My last one was an inside winegard unit that had an amp you plugged into power. I didn’t like the hassle. Your plug and go solution sounds good. But, What is a 12 volt booster? A self contained battery? Or is it powered thru the connection to the tv? So, I guess I’m asking, after antenna is installed, you run a cable to the outside plugin, right? Then what? Sorry, bear with me here...

As far as reception, last year at Costco I bought a neat snow rack and can raise that guy up pretty darn far, if that is the way I wanted to put the antenna, and not permanently mounted...
Kinds I have tried:
The Winegard flat one
The RCA one.
Have you tried the old fashion directional kind?

Also, you had to cut the 110 to 12 volt transformer? Small mod required?

Tv signals best as line of sight. So if you are in hilly or mountainous areas getting the antenna higher can help. If your plugged into 110 you don't need to modify. Or you can use a small inverter.

it is attached to the vent base on two sides very secure not the removable cap. See picture. The antenna is not very heavy and in my opinion will be able to more than handle 70 mph + speeds.

i new you were going to ask it was just there temporarily to hold in position. No longer needed.

I also thought the same thing, but it seems to be very stable so I am going to go without
I guess I have a new project.
Thanks. Love it!
