TV Antenna

Any ideas as to why the cable from the antenna into the roof is RG59 and the cable that comes out to the Winegard Booster is RG6. Shouldn't that be one continuous cable to carry the booster voltage to the antenna? Seems like there must be a splitter somewhere but - where?

The splitter for mine was in the cabinet that the power supply is mounted had to pull power supply to get to it.

does that split the signal from the antenna. wouldn't that eliminate the booster?

I think also the wire in the ceiling is connected to short cable on antenna with a splice on my old fiver the cable came thru roof one color and changed at the power unit to another could never figure that out either? The splitter was after the booster anyway.

the splitter should come after the booster. if it is between antenna and booster there would be no power from booster to antenna - right?

Yes!

Hey Ribbs65

I found this on another forum.

In my camper (yours may differ):
The orange coax is the cable feed (middle) from the outside.
The Gray coax is the Roof feed (Looking from back - right connector).
The Dark Brown coax the Satellite feed from outside and goes to the top connector on the wall plate.
The Tan coax is the TV2 output (looking from back - left connector)
--- Mine goes to a splitter - one to the L/R and the other the Bedroom.
The front bottom coax is the TV1 output.

I did a search this is what it found:
