Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I need a way to trace coax cable thru our rig. Something I can hook/plug to one of the outside connections and see where it feeds. Our Carrilite came with a "Box of Many Buttons" that has rattling parts inside. We use a portable dish most of the time but cannot feed it to the front bedroom TV. Add the Blue Ray/DVD player, over the air antenna, and cables that come from the roof to the mix and it's a coax nightmare in the TV cabinet. The area to work in is big enough for 2 hands if you hold the flashlight in your mouth. Suggestions for a tracer of some sort?

Ronbo Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Do a search for model N044-000-R network cable tester. Mine came with ends to also test the cable for tv.

sandsys Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 A headlamp would keep you from drooling on those wires. I love the way it always points right to where I'm looking.

Pat & Pete Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 One of our neighbors had a similar problem . We used a length of wire that reached the outside rooftop connection and verified which cable was which and continuity via 2 different VOMs . Goes around , comes around .

I put the first one in the cart on Amazon but it hasn't been ordered yet. It too would work.
