I have the Shakespeare seawatch 3019 tv
antenna that I will be installing halfway up my
mast, and I also have the Shakespeare 5215-c-x 3'
vhf antenna that I will be installing at the
mast head. What I'm trying to figure out is which antenna should I split for use as am/fm antenna. I was thinking the
vhf since it's higher up, bit the tv antenna is powered so I'm not quit sure. Any suggestions? While the mast is Down (my first time) I'll be putting in
bronze chainplates on the
hull sides and all standing
rigging etc. I also figured I'd rewire my
deck light and install the seawatch, aquasignal
anchor light, and the vhf antenna, and I haven't pulled the trigger on the signet
marine sl254, but since I have the signet base pack and seems to be pretty simple and robust I'll probably be getting the sl254 here in a day or so. Which leads me to my next question; scanmar multi
deck gland? Any experience with these? I'll be tapping the wires out the bottom side of the mast and penatrating through the coach roof. Is this the best way? I've seen the "swan neck"as well I'm thinking the deck gland is lower profile. I planing on bringing all wires through the coach roof and making all connections in the
cabin. Any
advice or experience with these products will be appreciated. Thank you all again.
