Hi
Well after buying the Airnav radar box last week at the Blackpool rally, I decided that I needed the outside aerial, preamp kit from Wimo.
Although not cheap I took the plunge and ordered the kit. It arrived on Thursday just before Good Friday, but bad weather and an ear infection stopped play.
Any way as it's Easter Monday I decided to go out and install the system. Wimo had made a super job of putting the N type plugs on I was reluctant to cut one off to feed the cable through the wall. Instead I got a 26mm masonry drill and launched this through the wall. EEK! I thought when finished never mind the present Mrs. S was out, so I had to move quickly. I then got a piece of 25mm plastic conduit pipe the N type plugs just slides through this as if it was designed for it. Put the conduit through the hole in the wall, and fed the n type plug and cable through the pipe. Then sealed the conduit into place with silicone sealant, and sealed the cable into the conduit once I had run it into the room.
All now hidden under the curtains so Mrs. S won't see it for a while. (I hope)
Now my first screen shots....
I hope I have done this correctly, the first 2 are screen shots with the standard antenna.
Next are with the WIMO antenna and pre amp.
