Hello, I purchased a 2024 KZ Sportsmen SE 221 RESE this year, went from a 2015 Jayco Hybrid. Love my KZ. There are quite a few differences and the most vexing is the radio reception. I don't have cable or satellite as we prefer to watch dvd movies and listen to the radio. Problem is the reception -its now fuzzy at best, whereas last year I had the old style elephant ears and no issues at all, now I have a digital booster. Booster is turned on-light is green and still the reception isn't great. PLUS when I run the on demand hot water heater the radio volume goes down.
Appreciate any tips on how to fix the reception and why my hot water usuage reduces the volume?

I had the same problem when I got my new Escape home a few years ago!
Removed an access panel next to the the radio and found the antenna was not plugged into the back of the radio. Plugged it in and now it works fine!
Good luck!

Turn on the switch on the antenna/cable wall plate.

I found numerous cable ends installed wrong. Replaced the cables, no more issues. If you have a bad end on your antenna cable feed, change the end. Check all of the ends with a cable checker from Amazon.

Pull the wall plate. Should be a splitter inside the wall. Cable may not be connected. On mine, they had the second tv output connected to the satellite connector on the amp.

Give a tug on all the connectors. They may not be crimped tightly. Remember the people assembling these are not electronics engineers.

Yeah, no real quality control!

cabling has been an issue for years, bad ends, missing cables, attached in the wrong place. Get a tester, about $25, and go to work. great way to learn about your RV.
