antenna cable replaced

Buster’s spot Holly Springs, North Carolina - Monday, August 26, 2019
Morning 65 Degrees, Wind E at 1 to 3 Mph, Humidity 93%, partly cloudy.
Afternoon 77 Degrees, Wind S at 1 to 3 Mph, Humidity 52%, cloudy.

It seems like the high heat has broken as it is cooler today. There was rain on Saturday and a cool frond has come making it nicer outside. It also was overcast this afternoon 
John was home early from work and it is time to change the coax cable on the Satellite antenna.

The television has been working as advertised, not dropping out and not having to be reset. These were our problems and are time consuming to fix. Lately we have had a different problem, not recording scheduled programs but that is something else.

The replacement coax cable has color coded ends but the antenna turret connections are numbered. The other difference are the coax cable end fittings are smaller on the new coax cable (I think this is good for clearance).

In the following picture the antenna is parked (in the travel position) replaced coax cable is in the center left of the picture

On the old coax cable you can see in the picture tape, I had John put on the chaffed spots that were warn thru. On the new cable I has put plastic over these to provide more protection to the coax cable just beyond the fitting up to the sleeve that the three coax cables are in to route up to the LNB’S going thru the square support tube. Both the old and new coax cables are different than coax cable we have used or seen before.
