GLOMEX RA106 VHF Marine Radio Antenna, 0.95 m incl. 25 m antenna cable

Cheap VHF marine antenna, easy to mount.

I installed the antenna with the help of several instructions. I connected everything very conscientiously and fixed it with cable ties. Unfortunately, I had to find out that I can't even transmit 0.5 nm in the lo range of my radio. Only in the hi area am I understood. Wouldn't buy the item again. After repeated questions, the product support almost didn't take place at all. Would have liked to have had a cable solution that could be screwed in place, and unfortunately it wasn't really clear anywhere that something like this would be delivered. It's a pity actually and the radio should be the helper in need. I really don't want to rely on it this season...

The antenna is very well made and does what is promised, but I can only advise against buying it! The coax cable is only clamped to the antenna and cannot be fixed properly, so that wobbles are inevitable, especially when mounting the mast

Unfortunately, GLOMEX only provides very cryptic picture stories as installation instructions - especially in this case. The information for a twist-proof connection between antenna and Verklicker missing completely. Here, a solution had to be found to connect Verklicker and antenna form-fitting.

When I opened the package I found that the upper 10 cm were bent at about 30 degrees. I managed to straighten it with the help of two tongs. In someway the package was done wrong!
Besides I found the description of how to arrange the RG 58-cable to fit well pretty bad. It is very small tolerances to get the correct fitting. I had to go up 3 times in the mast on my X-34 before I got a good function.
I would prefer a system which is easier to control.
