Finding OTA coax in wall?
ADVERTS 1
I live in an 8 unit condo building and we have a very nice OTA antenna on the roof. The previous owner of our unit completely re-did the place but removed the OTA/CATV coax jacks (did the same with all the phone jacks as well for some reason).
Is there any thing that can be done to find them without putting holes in every wall? Due to the amount of shielding, I would think using a toning tool would not work. I do have access to where it connects to splitter off of the antenna.
(Trying to talk the wife into the 722k)
Thanks,
Scooby

My toner works for tracing coax in the walls. Give it a try it is definitely less than cutting holes

Most toners I've used work just fine through most wall material. Only problem I ever had was metal lathe plaster walls.
