Glomex Isssues

[Dasch Boat]

I know that this has been discussed before but I would like to return my antennae for a new replacement. I have on very rare occasions received a weak signal so I know that the cables are run properly, but living only 30 miles from NYC the signal should be stronger. Does anyone have the Glomex contact information? Also what is the procedure for removing the disc?

Unfortunately, digital signals have a much shorter range when compared to analog broadcast signals. 30 miles is right on the edge.

Your antenna should just be held on with a small lock bolt. After removing need to detach the cable (will need special long reach wrench). My reception varies from day to day however I did find all that none of my coax connections were tight right from the factory and after tightening reception was much improved.

Just google search Glomex and the info comes up. You can send yours in for repair and they will more than likely send you a new one ( that's what they did for me).. They will send you the correct wrench (small pc of black plastic) to screw you cable back into the bottom. by the way you will want to more than likely replace you coax fitting as mine was very corroded.. You will need to speak to someone at Glomex to get your RA number. Btw you might as well plan for cutting you cable off your old one right at the base. You will need a set of allen wrenches to get your old one off the stainlees steel mast.

Thanks guys, I have gone thru all of the coaxial connections and all are tight. I will reach out to them and arrange to send in for repair or replacement.

I know this is probably asking the obvious, but not everyone knows. Did you turn the antenna on? Adjust the gain to high?

When I bought my (first) Sea Ray I didn't know they had an on/off and gain switch. It was hidden inside a salon cabinet. OK, OK, so maybe it was only me who was so uninformed.

Not a issue, my amplifier is functioning, Glomex asked me to check that the TV is scanning on digital and not analog. I will check that again and then send it back if needed.

Contact Terry (male) at from IMTRA (imtra.com). They just replaced my 14" TV antenna under the lifetime warranty program because the plastic housing was stained with the dreaded black streaks and had started to get rough / pitted on the surface. I was originally calling for cleaning tips, and also to find out how to reconnect the thing, but he volunteered that they have been known to replace things for free and to give it a shot. The shrinkwrappers pulled the coax end off of the cable because SR doesnt install any service loop or slack in the cable. I also have added an extension so that I will be able to reconnect easier, and not get it ripped off next season.

I sent it on Weds, it arrived to them on Thursday, new one on the way Friday, arrived this Monday. Will be interested to see if it has any different markings or part numbers indicating "digital" or analog... I personally dont think it makes a difference, but am no expert.

Have been in touch with Ray at IMTRA, he will be sending me shipping information for repair or replacement, hopefully I can pull antennae this weekend if the rain holds off and have it back for next weekend.
