Cell phone booster

[mariannec]

I’m installing a cell phone booster that has 50 ohm impedance and wanted to know options on booking it up through the sat coax which I believe is 75 ohm. Is there any risk of damage to the RV? Also, will it work properly? I have a GD Imagine AIM.

Wouldnt run any cell phone coax thru the SAT coax. Would purchase good quality LMR400 or KMR240 cable to handle the signal to and from a directional outdoor/indoor antennae and booster.

We mounted our booster by our couch wall. Ran the coax thru the floor (under the couch), thru a predrilled hole in the frame for the rear running lights and to the rear bumper hitch upto our ladder mounted YAGI Directional anntenae. The indoor antennae, ran the coax from booster next to rear window (hidden behind curtain) upto a indoor antennae mounted facing down from our rear over head couch cabinet. Works well for us anywhere that has atleast 1 bar of our carrier signal.
