NEW products: Glomex automatic TV antenna amplifier

Glomex TV antenna Amplifier

Sept 23, 2021

Whether for news, weather or just to watch the game, onboard television reception is important. But switching between external antennas and cable or satellite, traditional marine equipment is painstakingly manual to properly adjust.

The new Glomex Automatic Gain Control DVB-T2 TV Amplifier is fully automatic for both A/B input selection and signal gain to provide optimal viewing, no matter the vessel’s location.

When a vessel is connected to dockside cable, the Glomex Automatic Gain Control DVB-T2 TV Amplifier automatically switches over from the onboard antenna to this likely stronger signal. It then seamlessly adjusts the gain by lowering the amplification. When unplugged from shore, the process is reversed to preserve good reception.

Because its processes are automatic, the Glomex Automatic Gain Control DVB-T2 TV Amplifier can be hidden from view to make for a cleaner installation. The case is more rugged than previous generations of amplifiers. It runs on 12/24V DC and has a maximum draw of 100mA.

The Automatic Gain Control DVB-T2 TV Amplifier features a dock and a vessel antenna input, and TV/TV and TV/FM radio output coax ports. It comes standard with Glomex V9112AGC/AB and V9125AGC/AB TV antennas, and is backward compatible with models V9112AGCU.

Offered by GA Communications, the exclusive Glomex distributor for the Americas, the AGC DVB-T2 TV Amplifier model 50023/14AB costs US$99.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
