Title: None standard PAW cases
Post by: Torkie on December 07, 2017, 11:13:23 am
Forum - I have seen some rather smart looking rectangular unit with two of the more solid looking aerials attached. I’m keen to obtain / build such a unit as I think I may have inadvertently damaged my ADSB dongle in my flight bag. Does anyone have any information / contacts etc who can assist me?

Other colours are available, but for reflecting heat White is preferred. Remove the fan and snap off the clips. These foul the Bridge circuit board. You will need to elongate the hole for the P3i antenna SMA.

You can mount the ADSB antenna on either end but will need an extension cable. Now corrected, but shop around to see if you can get a better deal.

Remove the cases from the ADSB and GPS dongles. On the GPS I would suggest beefing up the mechanical joint between the USB plug and the PCB.

That’s fantastic and with thanks.
Both links are he same, do you by any chance have the link for the case?
Presumably the Anker power supply remains external?

Ian please double check this reference - looks like RP-SMA ?
Thx

You could be right Lee, hard to see on a phone. Will check again when I get home late tonight. Link now corrected, I hope!
