Antena cable run?

natas · Jul 10, 2012

I am installing a VHF radio.
I am using the same mounting spot as the old radio antenna.
There was no cable running.

how and where do I run the cable?

Ive got people here right now.

Surely I dont have to pull the dash out?

You don't say whether it's petrol or diesel but as long as the rig and setup are screened properly it shouldn't make much difference tbh.
If it's petrol just try and keep the mast and runs as far away from the engine bay as poss hth.

My problem is, I cant seem to find a way to get the antenna cable from the antenna back to the radio in the dash!!!!

Thanks

It's a bit fiddly but you could try threading a welding rod through and taping the coax to that and pulling it through.
