Re: Pac Wireless Hor-pol Omni acting strange

Also wondering when i get the antenna with the holes in the tape down on the ground can it be repaired? Can i get new mesh tape? Does anyone know where to get it?

Not sure where to get it. You might contact the manufacturer?

Let us know what the apparent cause of the tape failure is...

Well I have been down this road with Pacwireless antennas. Mine had holes in it rain wasn't the main problem, it was full of red wasp. I went ahead and replaced it with a different antenna. Red wasp 160' in the air aren't fun.

I did call Pacwireless support and they sent men some new tape at no charge. They sent me enough tape to do 2 antennas witch is what I had.

It is hard to determine what the cause of the tape failure was, but it just looks like it's worn out. I could have been a bird or something, but it just looks raggy and worn out. I emailed pac wireless and they were promt to ask for my address to send replacement tape.

How long has the antenna been up?

The antenna has been in the air about 1.5 years. The pac wireless guy that emailed me back said that he had seen this many times. He suggested that birds made the holes. But i have my doubts, IMO it's just a bad choice of material/design. I don't wan't to gripe too much because this antenna has proved to be a much better performer than any other that I have tried.
