Which KING antenna

I have this king antenna on my 2020 36ck2. Would anyone know which model it is? I have no info on it and it doesn't seem to pick up as much as it should. Is it also used for the radio?Click image for larger version

looks like a King omni directional 'mushroom' antenna - fixed, so that you don't need to rotate it like the 'older' types you typically see on most rvs...but yes, it may not necessarily pickup the same number of channels since it is not 'directional'...

easier install, less involvement for the owner, etc...

but no, it has nothing to do with the radio - that will have it's own antenna

now, 'how many' channels you may pickup has a lot to do with 'where' you are in relationship to the stations signals, and sometimes even from TV to TV as each tv may even have differing levels of what they may be able to process from the signal...some do it better than others.
Unless you have someone parked right next to you with another rv and another type of antenna, it's hard to 'compare' whether you are receiving all the channels/signal you expect to...
