    Long Cable Run

    All,

    I setup a new groundmount recently in a location I thought would be OK but it turns out the house is catching me for all sats beyond 19e.

    I have to move it to the back of the lawn about 40m from current position (which is about 30 to 40m from receiver).

    Id say the min length I could get is about 70m.

    Any recommendations on cables and amps etc.
    Can these small amps be put in series.

    I have seen mentioned else where this type of cable. Will it help ?
    Code:

    I think it would be easier to sell the house for one turned the other way....LOL.

    Using that WF125 cable and proper compression fit F type connectors I don't think you will have any problems. Doubt that you will need an AMP.

    There's a cheap tool here http://www.satellitesuperstore.co.uk...orscompression Contact them first to make sure their compression fittings fit WF125 cable as I think it's slightly chunkier.
