Hi Trapdoor,
Cool
Can you write down an inventory and supplier list for the Antenna and MCX/SMA converter
does the antenna for the SDR dongle stay fixed ?
I thought that adding an MCX/SMA converter would make it a bit loose
Thx
Lee
Hi Lee,
I'll draw up a list tomorrow. It's from all over.
The MCX to SMA IS loose but it's going to (hopefully) be a temporary solution for me, as I plan to relocate the dongle inside.
The option is to actually solder the converter to the MCX socket on the dongle. With a 25w iron it should be possible if VERY careful. Other option is a blob of silicone just to stop it rotating.
As it stands, I'm planning on a blob of silicone on the pigtail for the ARF as that isn't terribly tight either - people will need to make sure their construction is robust enough and bits are damped to take into account some of the serious vibrations in GA aircraft. This is one reason I have used the prototyping pod to mount the ARF to ... which someone asked for a photo, here it is:
