 Topic: Bat-wing Digital TV AntennaPosted: 04 Oct 2014 at 9:14am |
|
Up on a ladder checking out the top of the POD last night, I noticed the bat-wing antenna is loose. It tips up and down from side to side a full inch on its mount. I tried to tighten the bolts only to realize they were at max tight, presumably a bottomed out partial thread on the bolt. So it appears its looseness is by design. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it stars to crack the mount or housing. I do wonder if other PODs are the same.

Our antenna also has a fair amount of movement. Our first night the rattling in the wind kept us awake. Henceforth it has borne two bungee cords to hold it still. We ordered our pod without a television, but it still came with an antenna...

We were washing our pod yesterday for the first time and Hubby noticed our antenna does what you just mentioned. Don't know if it is by design or not. Could be like the tree that bends doesn't break. Would be interested in knowing if anyone else has the moving antenna.

Instead of starting another thread - anyone know if the antenna movement is "normal"? Ours wobbles in the wind and makes a rattling noise. We had a windy weekend this weekend and about drove us nuts at night. IS bungee cords the answer?

We had a tech tell us it was loose by design. I agree it does make a lot of racket in the wind.

I just know that I traveled with mine for 10,000 miles or so. It was a bit loose, it is a bit loose. It's never been a problem.Watching too much TV is a problem.

Fr sent me one to replace the old round antenna on my 2012 181g. Have not installed it yet, as it kind of interferes with the radio antenna... Might need to patch a hole and re-do... Not happy to hear it moves around, as I lost the old one on the road.
