Hi everyone

I am thinking about doung some upgrading to the antennna and sat doom and was wondering how the roof were constructed. I dont want to drill into a structural member. Also on the roof there is a sticker that says something like sat location. The spot wasnt used so i am wondering what is there that i might use for an upgrade.
Thanks

Rod,

That sticker shows where the coax is for the sat dish. Most installers don't use it because the location has been known to be elsewhere. So the installer will use his own cabling which I agree with. That way, he is responsible for the complete installation instead of relying on someone else's work. The metal structure is no where near the surface of the roof so you won't be hitting one. Noo big dael if yo do, just go ahead and screw into it.
