Glomex antenna wiring

[Dsoorholtz]

So I removed my stateroom TV and like an idiot did not label the cable leads coming from the antenna to the glomex located controller under the TV OR the outgoing cable which runs to my stateroom tv. And also not sure my glomex antenna is working. Any way to use a multimeter to solve this? Thanks!

Do you have a digital TV, if not you wont pick up anything, unless you have a converter box. All TV signals are digital now. With your boat so new, I'm sure the antenna is fine.

I learned recently the old glomex (2001) antennas were not rated for digital. I used to get about 5-10 channels... installed a new digital antenna and get over 100! I would replace the antenna. To answer your original question. You could test the continuity if your leads are long enough but just hook it up both ways it won't hurt anything.

Thanks. Is it safe to assume that old glomex antenna has same power needs as new digital one?

Yes. It comes with a new amplifier but requires the same 12v connection.
