You should then have a direct link between the antenna output and the radio. Then plug the Radio into that connection on the wall plate nearest the radio. Then go to hook-up center and jump/connect that 'SAT' to the 'SAT' for location of the Radio Receiver. IF you are NOT using the 'SAT' runs you could use (repurpose) the 'SAT' connection on the wall plate that has the booster/switch on it and connect it to the 'to Radio' portion of the antenna.

(These are direct runs to each TV location from the hook-up center with no splitters or switches.) You SHOULD ALSO HAVE several other cable connections in your hook-up center either labeled for each TV location or 'SAT' or ?. These cables may or may not have splitters in the lines to get them to all locations (mostly hidden behind wall plates.) All these cables are for your cable TV and antenna runs. It then goes out through the outputs of the booster/switch to the various TVs. So what you SHOULD have in your trailer at the hook-up center is a cable connection marked 'cable in' (or similar.) This cable goes directly to the booster/switch. Here's the diagrams of the two Winegards:

When I get the two devices I'll document the install and post the results in a new thread. I won't use the 4G part of the Gateway, but the WiFi booster will replace another setup that I have (and despise setting up and then putting away every travel day). I also ordered the optional Gateway, as I'm fairly certain I can route 12V from the bedroom overhead LED light switch (always hot) to it.

I've ordered a Winegard Air 360+ as it has a single OTH cable like the King Jack I'm replacing. The Winegard Air 360 has two coax (many thanks, boyscout, for calling that out!).

I hope all that made sense.I think the problem is there is a single coax that runs from the old King Jack antenna installation to the booster as the OEM King Jack had both the TV and FM signals on one cable. There are ways to combine and then split signals but require extra equipment at each end and the booster/switch will probably mess that up anyway. Just connect the extra cable connection from the antenna directly to the repurposed cable bypassing the booster/switch and the other end of the repurposed cable to the radio. If you repurpose one of the cable runs it can be done fairly easily. (IOW - switches between two inputs and sends one or other to all outputs) When the button is un-pushed it routes the signal from the cable feed to all TVs. It switches between the incoming 'cable' connection and the 'antenna.' When the button is pushed it routes the antenna signal to all TVs and 'boosts' or amplifies. We do get some radio stations with just the TV antenna cable connected, but suspect we could do better. I'm not up for feeding another run of cable from the bedroom back to the radio, so wondered if there was a way to combine both the FM and TV signals onto the existing factory cable run to the entertainment center.

That has its own F-type / RG6 connector in addition to the TV antenna connector, so the antenna needs two runs of cable to take full advantage of it.

In addition to its TV antenna the Winegard 360 has a separate FM antenna - the cheap wire-wound hoop antenna - mounted on its interior wall. The reason I butted in was to ask JCR GD if he knows of a way to do the opposite of a splitter combine two inputs onto a single output. It also only boosts one (or two?) of the inputs and just passes others directly through to the output. A switch (in this booster case) selects one of a number of inputs and sends it to one output. When you write 'switch' do you mean 'splitter'?Sorry to butt in but no, a splitter typically splits or shares an incoming signal indiscriminately across two or more outgoing ports. Definitely boosts the signal-see video below.
