Pretty happy with TV antennas

I had a problem at first when I discovered the device required 12vdc from a cable box which I didn't have so I called King and was told I could Buy a King 12V DC power supply for a small fee. It only took me a few days to get 12V DC, but when I plugged in 12V DC the device still didn't work. Then I pulled out my trusty multimeter to check that the 12V DC power supply was faulty and not producing any power at all. I then called King to send a replacement 12V DC power supply. After receiving this

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • Sad device

Good product needs better customer service

After upgrading my 5th wheel with this King Jack antenna I also have the Winegard Replaced bat wings on my RV. The product looks well built using quality materials and good design. New installations or retrofits are easy and require basic skills and tools. My score is lower because of poor customer service. The website says that the chat feature is available, but actually it isn't. A phone call will either put you in a very long queue, or you will be disconnected or sent to the voicemailโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Wider reception coverage allows you to quickly find the strongest signal and maximize reception
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Exceptional antenna.

I can't express how happy I am with this antenna! History: Bought a camper in February. Completely new. It came with an omnidirectional TV/AM/FM antenna. It was sort of a mushroom-shaped affair, receiving only about three TV stations in a large metropolitan area where I know there were dozens more. The radio reception got worse. I did my research and read countless reviews before purchasing this antenna. It appeared to be the best rated antenna of its kind. Came in perfect condition withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

King antenna failure and no warranty

Since my previous RV antenna blew off the top of my RV I did some research and bought a King antenna. I recorded several installation videos on YouTube, read the installation instructions, and spent at least 5 hours carefully connecting each wire and coax connection from the King power input to the King SureLock signal meter to the antenna itself, mounted (with optional King bracket) antenna. They applied a special $40 self-leveling sealant to the antenna and base. I pressed the power button on

Pros
  • TV antennas
Cons
  • Not sure

"You must purchase the MB8200 to upgrade to our new antenna." That's what King Jack customer service told me. A low branch broke the stem of our previous King Jack OTA antenna so we bought a new one thinking it would be a direct replacement for the King Jack on our Lance 2017.5. Well, King changed the design of the base, from the triangular "Clam" base to the current "Octopus" style. Oh, problem number one, discovered after we removed the old antenna from the roof and left the drive-thru openโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • old
