What did you replace your Mini-State OTA TV antenna with?
The directional motor on my Mini State is no longer working and this antenna is no longer being manufactured. If you have had to replace yours, what did you replace it with?
Did you do it yourself?
Thanks

Open the case and check to see if the coax cable is warped around the mounting post tightly it may not be the motor but this Just a idea.

I was going to do the same, the Winegard Rayzer sounds less complicated to find OTA channels than the Mini State. Let me know how you make out.

I found one on eBay in the original packaging, just not black like the one that came stock. It was a gamble as the seller found it cleaning out a storage unit, but for $50 I gambled and it worked fine.
If not I was going to go the Winegard Roadstar.

I put a Jack antenna on the crank-up mast of the 2007 I owned previously. So far, with the new coach I have been relying on my DTV service or cable when blocked. I know the OAT can be amazing with HD when available, but so far I have not needed it. Jack

They now appear to be using the Winegard Roadstar, which is an omni directional antenna. I replaced my Mini State with a Winegard Rayzar automatic.

I am getting zero signal. Thinking about replacing mine with the Razor. Have you been happy with yours? Is it worth the extra 200 dollars?

Installed a Rayzor a few weeks ago, in place if a mini state. So far works very well. Super easy to use - litterly just push a button, wait a couple minutes, and then scan channels in the TV.

In our 2016 Allegro RED 38 QRA we get a great OTA signal in the morning but when evening rolls around the signal gets weak and sometimes we loose the channel. I have to do a rescan and then the channel re appears...any thoughts. Its mainly channel 4 ABC.
