Gyro Stabilized and Standart Antenna for Vehicles
DISCOVERY 2 – DVB SAT TV – OFFSET DISH DIAMETER 580 X 320 MM (23X13'') – 8,00 KG (17,6 LB) – ELLIPTIC FEED-HORN - CONTROL UNIT 3 SAT – STATIONARY - MANUAL SKEW
Discovery 2 is the new generation of Stationary Satellite TV Antennas, for watching TV with parked vehicle.
Key Points: • Increased performance thanks to the new bigger parabolic dish (+55%)* • New elliptic feed-horn to avoid spillover (H.P.F.) • Gear drive on Azimut axis • New low attenuation radome design
Glomex has developed Discovery2 (S500S), the new high performance satellite TV antenna to watch TV with parked vehicle. Discovery2 has exceptional performances with every weather conditions thanks to a bigger parabolic dish (+55%)* and the innovative elliptic feed-horn to avoid spill-over (H.P.F.), coupled with a high gain and a low noise factor LNB.
Discovery2 is also designed according to the offset technology (the focus point is outside the parabolic area), so that the LNB is supported by an arm which does not cast any shadow onto the dish for the best performances.
As the other Glomex satellite TV antennas, Discovery2 is very easy to install and to use thanks to the very simple control unit. Moreover, Glomex antennas may be updated by anyone by means of the SD card reader (memory card), integrated in the control unit, by downloading the software for free from the site www.glomexmobile.com.
* Discovery2 (S500S) has a parabolic dish 55% bigger than Discovery S460S for greater performances in receiving the satellite TV signal.

ESCAPE is a high-gain omnidirectional TV antenna, compact and aerodynamic, to receive the analogue and digital terrestrial TV signal.
It is an omnidirectional antenna with a receiving angle of 360° and reduced dimensions, with a diameter of only 14” and a height of 7”1/2 (10" with vertical whip), with a weight of 2,5 lb, with an especially high performance at low VHF frequencies. With the ESCAPE antenna it is therefore possible to receive the TV signal both at low VHF and at high UHF frequencies, and to adjust the gain with the external amplifier, directly installed on the vehicle (wall- or dashboard-mounting provided). ESCAPE can also receive polarized TV signals, both horizontally and vertically, assuring an excellent view both of analogue and of digital terrestrial TV, even when, because of natural obstacles (such as rocks etc..), only vertically polarized signals are received. ESCAPE is easy to install and provided with all necessary accessories for installation: support for roof installation with screws or glue (T198), 5 m coaxial cable, amplifier and TV cable. Glomex offers a range of optional accessories for a removable installation kit for ESCAPE: the suction cup mount with adjustable inclination T196 and the adapter for cigarette lighter T197.
