TV Coax Woes
I need help!! I haven't been able to receive a signal from my wineman antenna. I read the antenna tune up and followed the instructions, but have not gotten anywhere with it.
Here's what I have so far:
Signal booster unit is OK. It has 12 volts coming out. I checked with a pigtail coax.
I ran a jumper coax from antenna side of power unit to antenna, to eliminate any problems with it. I was able to locate 15 channels, so I know the antenna is OK.
I am not getting any voltage at the connection coming out of the rooftop antenna, so I took the handle off and fished the coax out of the ceiling, broke apart the joint and checked the coax from the ceiling. No voltage there.
I replaced the coax connector on the antenna coax coming out of the wall, then checked the end coming out of the ceiling. Nothing. I'm stumped now. I tugged the wall/ceiling coax from both directions to see if I could pull another coax attached to one end or another, but it appears to be anchored somewhere in the wall or ceiling somewhere.
Any suggestions?
