I just purchased a JEFA repeater and antenna system to improve WiFi reception in campgrounds. I purchased the shorter of the two antenna choices (I think the gain is specified as 8.5 db). I have bench tested it in my garage shop while connected to the internet via JEFA WiFi to my home WiFi network. It seems to work as advertised.
Now, I need to install it on my Flagstaff 831BHSS and I'm looking for ideas from any of you who have one of these devices and have installed it permanently on your RV. Where and how did you mount the antenna? How did you route the antenna cable into the RV? If you are using the device without installing it permanently how did you mount the antenna and route the cable into the RV?
Any help would be appreciated. I have been a Ham (K8RWG) for a number of years and I'm not totally unfamiliar with these kinds of projects but I don't want to start making holes in the TT until I have some idea what I'm doing.
I have a flag mount on my ladder anad have permenently mounted a WiFi extension cord to the pole and ran the wire through the flag sleeve so it still can rotate. The long stick antenna can be removed and moved inside when I don't need the range or obstruction clearance.
Thanks for the reply. I don't have a ladder on my TT so I can't do exactly what you did. Meanwhile, how did you get the cable into the trailer? Through a window, or how?
