Help please! '19 MR Lite 2410RL OTA TV Antenna, WI-FI readiness, Radio Antenna mysteries

[BrotherSpike]

Good day to all from the west;

Hoping someone, anyone, everyone can help me with a few things on a recently purchased 2019 Mesa Ridge Lite 2410RL.
1. I'm trying to find info, manufacterer, model #, or manual for my OTA TV antenna (pic attached). TV located in Liv Rm and connected. Cable OTA swith plate and seperate coax terminal in BR. Swith is on for OTA. Connected to shore power. TV cannot find a single OTA channel. I live in a city in central CA. So I'd like to start trouble shooting with manual in hand. haven't foun a single thing online to help me ID the OTA TV antenna.
2. Unit originall sold off dealer's lot in 2019 had options for "WI-FI Ready". I cannot find any such source plate inside or on the roof for this. No labels. However, there is a double terminal coax plate above the Microwave in an open cabinet space. terminals are connected to each other with a short coax cable. Not sure what it's for, or what it does?
3. All literature says that I have short flexable Radio antenna on the roof or walls. Literature also says I could have an extendable radio antenna. I cannot find either of these types on the roof, or the outside walls. Could it be within the same OTA TV antenna? Or where should it be located?

Thanks for any and help you can provide,
Mike

I don't have answers for most of your questions, but I can say that on my 2016,the cable TV jacks didn't work, so I opened every single wall plate for the coax and the connections were all loose. I think what you found by your microwave was the splitter that goes to both TV locations.... mine was in the bedroom wall tv location (inside the wall)

PS don't forget to look in storage compartment for terminals

Had the fancy directional from King. Worked well. Plastic failed every 2 years. Cable connection one time.

Had it replaced with the Wineguard 360 multi directional. KISS $120

Likely works better. Very simple.

No clue about Wi fi ready. Our tv is Wi-Fi ready. So are the phones.

Unfortunately you have an antenna issue. For the most part working on it requires removal. I would never consider not replacing it. Labor to remove it and its caulking is over an hour.

Thanks, I appreciate that response. last thing I'll do before replacing it, will be tracing all cable lines, and testing all terminals. Still wondering what the small plate with 2 terminals inside an open compartment above the microwave. Maybe I'll get that answer when my tester arrives. I'm thing it's for wifi ready, but that doesn't make sense to me, with it being 2 coaxial terminals, with a 6" jumper between the terminals.

my guess would be a loose connection or broken wire.

There are connections at the splitter(2 tvs) and the booster to check.

The one in the antenna base will be hard to get to. On mine the antenna had to come off. A several hour job. Yours might be easier.

Yeah, thanks for that. I've been on the roof and took the antenna off. Everything looked fine. i did tighten all cables. Have not checked the jumper over the micro yet. Will do that, then trace all cables next.

Thanks
