My son has a cable distribution center that was installed when his house was built. Cables were run to all the rooms in the house but the installers forgot to put a broadband jack in one room. He had verified that the cable had been run to that room when the house was under construction, and he knows approximately where it ends, but he doesn't want to tear into the wall in order to find it.
I told him we might be able to find approximately where it was by moving the antenna of a portable TV around that part of the wall looking for the strongest TV signal, but I wasn't sure if the cable signal would radiate strongly enough from the cut end of the cable. Another thing we thought of was generating an AM or FM signal from the distribution box end of the cable and then looking for the strongest signal in the room using a portable AM-FM radio. Unfortunately, I don't have a signal generator anymore. A third idea was using two walkie-talkies; wrapping one in aluminum foil with the distribution box end of the cable and an electric razor turned on inside the foil to make a noise. One of us would hold the transmit button on and the other would search the wall with the other walkie talkie; looking for the strongest signal. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
