DESCRIPTION

Winegard's RoadStar

TM  

omnidirectional antenna pro-

vides excellent reception of VHF/UHF TV channels.
The RoadStar compact modern styling is unobtrusive
and blends well with the designs of recreational vehi-
cles. The UV stabilized copolymer housing makes the
antenna virtually impervious to weathering and color
change.

The unique omnidirectional characteristics of model
RS-1000 provide excellent reception in areas where
stations are in different directions without the need for a
complex rotor system. A built-in amplifier provides up to
6 times the received signal on VHF and 9 times the UHF
signal insuring the best possible reception in color and
black and white.

The RS-1000 package includes antenna, 12 VDC pow-
er supply with two-way splitter, 30' downlead cable, 6'
TV set cord, hardware and mounting bracket.
