Ok, new 91XG showed up today a day early. Nice. I did pick up compression fittings for the RG6 cable. Got more than enough to do all exterior connections - I think. Would like to think if done properly I should be able to pull in the signal as it is noted as -7.6db and the antenna is rated well above that, but all the coax and connections etc will erode that.
Is there an advantage to these even indoors - not subject to weather? I'm presuming so. Might need a few more before I am all done.
I will need an amp I "presume" as I have estimated a 150' from tower, through the shop, under the driveway, into basement and to my giant birds nest - good time to redo all of that.
Presume that you will want to know what my signals are "prior" to suggesting pre-amplifier strength. ie 18db or 28db. Amps are of the 28db Winegard variety and less than 1 year old. Had enough go out of the years to know when those are fried.
So I'd like to NOT replace all the cable, but... reality is that other than a giant pain pulling the wire, removing the old from the tower etc it is doable. And helps to ensure I start off in the best possible position. Had a 1000' of it years ago and I can always get more.
On the coaxseal, is that readily available on the street? Suggestions as to sources. I can do the internet, but I would like some serious progress on this over Thanksgiving. Wish I would have picked it up today at a shop 75 miles from here, doubt I'm backtracking for that.
Thanks for the replies and will be taking this step by step as suggested. To me this is fun taking the time to figure out something that is totally out of my comfort zone.
