Antenna Help
Where do I find the crank to raise and lower my antenna on my 2017 Zinger Z1. I can't get any radio reception and I know there are stations b/c I am in my driveway at home. I read something about the TV booster but I can't locate that button either. Feeling silly but want radio so I'm asking. Thank you!

Your tv antenna nor booster have anything to do with the radio, only the tv. You may have to pull the radio out & find either there isn't an antenna or like mine just a wad of wire hooked the antenna connection.

My tv booster increases the signal strength of the radio stations. In fact, a huge difference. Took out radio and saw that the radio is connected to tv antenna also.

If you have a ufo saucer shaped antenna on top ,it does not raise . And it is also for fm . Am will suck . And so will the tv. The booster will be in a panel the size of a 110 v plug cover and will have a button or a small 3 way switch tha lights up a red light when on . ProbabLy near the tv maybe on the ceiling ...if the tv turns ,it will be above it . Good luck .

We have the Jenson wing antenna, and it does not raise either, no adjustments at all. It does improve the fm stereo reception, but as far as picking up tv channels, very dissapponted in that,even with the booster on, and this is in our driveway also. We do live in rural area, but Baton Rouge is right down the road, and can only pick up maybe 2 to 3 channels on a lucky day.

Did you scan the tv from the menu, it has to be done every time you move the trailer. Typically we can pick up 50+ channels, several are Spanish or religious, but always can find something to watch.

It says "t.v. channels", I agree OP was about the radio, Slingshot wasn't.

Sorry about that. But to answer your question, yes we do scan the tv channels when we turn it on.

Wouldn't be the first time a booster went bad.
