Does any one have any tips on cleaning a Glomex antennae ? Looks like the previous owner never washed it let alone polished or waxed it.

Thanks for the contact info, I will pull it and send it out this weekend, should have it back and reinstalled before I splash.GLomex has a lifetime warranty on the unit. FULL UNLIMITED WARRANTY. I called IMTRA (US distributor for Glomex) told them my antenna was pitted with black streaks and marks and was it covered under the unlimited warranty. They told me only if the unit was not cleaned or attempted to be cleaned using harsh chemicals. They gave me a RA number, told me to return the unit for inspection. In 3-4 days, I had a new Glomex antenna, no charge to me except the initial shipping charge to get the old unit to IMTRA. Do not try and clean using harsh chemicals, just call Imtra and get a new one. www.imtra.com
Frank, I installed a radio Shack converter last summer on the new to me 380, could not pick up any signal and we are only 35 miles from NYC. After I get the hopefully new antennae back from Glomex I will try again out by Jones Beach where I should have line of site to the NYC skyline. I want to make sure I have some type of signal before I start looking into new flat screens for her.There is usually and A-B switch and a gain control mounted in a cabinet near the salon TV. Some were labeled A-B, others are labeled Shore-Antenna, but the A-B switch connects the TV system in the boat to the source you wish to use. Put it on antenna and turn the gain up/down as needed.
Your boat must have tv's with digital tuners or you will need to add a digital convertor.
Don't expect the same range or reception from Glomax as you get at home with a 12 ft antenna 50 ft up in the air.......it isn't going to happen. You may get decent reception in a metropolitan area with multiple stations, but most of us are lucky to pick up 1 or 2 weak signals where we boat.
i have never gotten more than a snow filled picture on mine
I'm sure that I have power as the light on the amplifier comes on.Also, make sure you are getting power to the tv antenna amplifier. The Glomax and most other omni antennas won't work very well without signal boost.
Sometimes, it's on a separate breaker switch on the 12v power panel. Sometimes, it's wired into the Stereo breaker circuit.
