Just one tip on your taping, you should start from the bottom and move up so there is not an edge for water to get trapped on or seep through.

Hey just wanted to chime in and say thank you for taking the time to make this video. I just set mine up today and your instructions were on point. Great video. Subscribed!

Thank you for the content. Someone must have told you already but just in case they havent. I believe the bolt next to the red plastic is meant to attach the lighting cable. Unbolt a little bit the screw, get the cable below and bolt it again. Also i would put it the other way around so the cable does not make a U turn. But then again I am no expert so everything I said could be wrong.

Thanks for the great video. I'm not a miner, yet. Just trying to figure out how to do it. But as a side note, I noticed that you used a plain ordinary cat 6 ethernet cable outside. I recommend replacing with a outdoor rated network cable. The sunlight will quickly degrade the regular cable and it will be much more prone to interference.

Video was kinda long. But very helpful and super informative. No second was wasted! 🍺

Rainproofing your antenna connection. You should start your wrap from the bottom of the cable connection and work your way up to the top of the antenna connection . This way rain has no chance of entering in between the wraps.

Cool video 🔥 setup!

Be weary of signal plus and eBay Amazon antennas , they are rarely what they claim to be. Look at McGill 6db or 9db or Rak 8db , the rak 5.8 is not as good as McGill 6db. Second the lightning arrestor will not protect you from direct strike, and you should place the arrestor were the cable enters your home. Because lightning or nearby lightning will induce current in your antenna , your mast and your coax cable also. Your arrestor placement only protects the antenna part but not your cable. The mast should also be grounded. I would have kept the lmr600 the small cable at the end would have negligible loss compared to what you will loose on the lmr400 vs 600. Lmr400 is 0.051db per ft (if it’s good TMS cable) lmr600 is 0.025db per ft, so at 30ft 400 would be 1.53db and 600 is 0.75. Also the connectors on the cable also have loss cheap connectors on cheap cable could loose you 0.5db+ for each connector good connectors 0.2db. Lightning arrestor also has loss could be up to 1db. On your 600 setup the last adapter cable for n to rpsma you had was very short loss on this would not be significant compared to loss on 30ft lmr.

Thanks Caesar!!

Would a pvc pipe work better to hold the satellite?

Make sure it is not just a power strip with breaker. Make sure it's an actual surge protector. Battery backup will save your miner

buy a bobcat or a sensecap rak and mntd are having problems I have a goldspot and it's more offline because of the sd card

Can you recommend a wiring bundle from Amazon? I'm not sure what all hardware I need. I got a bundle with my Sensecap, but I'm not sure what else is required, other than LMR400.

I live in El Cajon I put 3 feet wood in between because you don’t need metal close to antenna

Do you have any issue with Helium Hotspot app, mine it is keeps freezing, I can’t press anything.

Think POE would be better for this setup Save having such a long cable

thanks for the video, very helpful. Do i need the lightning arrestor if I'm not going to ground my setup? (we rarely have any lightning here)

eyyyy i'm in San Diego too! Thx for the great Video! I'm trying to get my miner set up. what do you all think of using a grounding rod/stake directly into the ground instead of running it into the house?

Great video I’m one week into helium mining I’m earning only a tiny amount at the min next week I’m gona try N get my 5.8dbi antenna on the chimney Gona order a thicker cable now and hope I have better result there’s 4 of us in our hexagon do u think that’s to many ?

What differences in returns in HNT with the different indoor/outdoor setups?

N connections have rubber seals inside of them

After 3 months, how much your earnings increased?

So you dont crimp the plastic you crimp the metal under the plastic and put the sheathing of the wire under the plastic then heat sgrink the plastic to creat a weather proof seal. As of rite now you ground isnt connected or its just barely rubbing which will effect your antennas signal.

What's your earning difference after installing the new outdoor antenna per day?

Having Power Over Ethernet helps a lot with cable management.

Hi great job but you must Cramp the red ring connector closer to the ring it is not tight around the wire or you can sodier it you missed it should be tight around the wire. everything else is great

hello. I live in the UK I wish to buy an antenna like these for helium mining , could you tell me if there are certain brands I should look for please? if not brands then anything in particular I should be looking for , many thanks

Nice setup! Since your Ethernet is going outdoors, you may want to verify that it’s Cat6A.

what's the difference between wifi and ethernet wiring your miner? Is one better than the other?

The further the unit is from the antenna = more signal loss which = less money msde

Curious to know, how is this setup holding up? Did you use all the items from Amazon? Particularly the cables from Amazon? What is your daily HNT on average since you made this set up?

LMR 400 is male to male? Can I have the unit in the attic and antenna outdoor? I am in Central Florida, I am not sure if product will hold summer heat in the attic.

Do you also have any attic antenna setup videos?

As mentioned already you need to crimp the connection more on your ground wire. Also use Dielectric Grease on your exterior connections.

Looks good, but why don't you put a bracked on the roof trim board and to the pole for more stability? just a thought. :)

Bro you only pinched the plastic on your lightning arrestor. You didn't crimp any of the metal connector. 7:32 Nice setup though! I like it!

I have read and seen videos that recommend the lightning arrestor be installed closer to the ground vice at the top. In addition, the arrestor should not be directly connected to the antenna. Not sure which is correct but thought you should know.

How long is that 10dbi antenna, exactly? And is it omnidirectional or directional? Nice set up! You should pull 3-$400 a month, easily.

I don’t think my HOA would approve, but looks good!

Where did you buy flagpole? Brand model?

Join the helium discord. In my experience. The all of the metal gets a silicone taped all the way up to the PVC on the antenna.

With the 30' 400 you are at close to 6.8 dBi.

you should have start taping from bottom and move up.

where do you get that POLE ?

Dont trust the shrink wraps on lmr 400 ....it needs tape or it seperates easily with few tugs

I don't think your original antenna was an 8Dbi as it is way to short ... my only advice is do not buy from ebay or amazon, but only from the source, RAK Wireless etc.

Minoxidil update?

Please properly crimp that ground wire. You just squeezed the plastic part of the connector... you need to crimp the metal base+plastic together.

Why 10? HNT will only limit you to 9 dbi. HNT will slow your miner down if you have anything over 9

The Rak is better you have more ram with the rake 4G

I order 20 from eBay for 420usd each bro

I hope your family isn't using any water taps when lightning hits that 20 ft metal lightning rod you just grounded to your indoor pluming. My god have you not heard of Google.
